 camping under the stars! amazing!

lush and historic Joshua Tree- about an hour and a half from LA. Humans have occupied the area for at least 5,000 years. The first group being the Pinto Culture...

The Joshua tree, the parks namesake, is a member of the Agave family and American Indians recognized the flora and fauna of the land for its useful properties: tough leaves made into baskets and sandals, and flower buds and roasted seeds made a healthy addition to the diet.
And now a bunch of happy hippies dance and sing on this ancient earth! Hari Om!
