Turkey in the desert

If you didn't know, I spent my Thanksgiving holiday in the desert. I met Cydnie and Daniel at 7:30 at Gordo's Taqueria for a quick dinner on Wednesday night and we were on the road by 8:30. We then drove through the night, making many stops at gas stations for caffine refills and bathroom breaks. I was in the back seat sleeping sometimes and being awake sometime.
At about 5AM on thursday we arrived in Yucca Valley and pulled up infront of Von's, which wasn't open yet. This allowed us to grab about an hour of sleep. At around 6:30, Daniel and I stumbled into Von's. I didn't really need to buy anything and ended up walking around aimlessly at the grocery store for a while. I'm sure I looked hung over or something.
We finally got into Joshua Tree at about 8AM and then the weekend started.

Some highlights: playing around on a highline, thanksgiving dinner, listening to drunk people, the domino's pizza tailgate, hot springs, and of course... climbing.

Here are some pictures...

DoubleODT: you really are sick

It's strange, but for some reason, the feeling of being sick brings back strong memories of childhood, love, and Christmas. I guess I always felt intense love and care from my mom and dad when I was really young and sick, and I have been sick many times around Christmas. I remeber one year everyone in our family was sick on Christmas and we all huddled together on my parents bed and watched all the Star Wars movies on a small TV set. Other years I just remember being in bed a lot during winter break and popping pills every 4 hours and then sleeping and then waking up and feeling like crap, but also feeling a lot of love in the household.
