Our Life Story | Chapter 29 – The Joshua Tree experience part 2

So, part 2…. After relaxing the biggest part of the day we finally found the energy to climb some rocks and get up to one of the highest points surrounding us.

We took a backpack with us filled with some beers, olives and the camera off course. Since it was already late afternoon we decided to stay up there to enjoy the sun going down beneath the jumbo rocks.

There´s just something special about that “golden hour”. The world seems like a much more peaceful place. Or maybe it was just the lack of sleep and the beers we were drinking again…
On a rock some meters from the place we were sitting we saw 2 guys climbing up and enjoying this great place too. I just couldn’t resist to take some pictures of them.

We thought the pictures had turned out great so the least we could do for them, is to ask if they would like to have the pictures as well. While climbing down the rocks we stopped by and asked them for their email addresses so that we could send them the photographs.

They we’re really pleased with the pictures. In fact, so pleased they invited us to their campfire and beer night. Their campsite was just one spot next to ours so after a couple of drinks we we’re able to crawl back to our own tent. We had another awesome night filled with guitar play, drums, a campfire and very funny conversations.

We also got a great tip from one of the guys who lived in the area. This great tip was to visit a hot spring called Deep Creek. It was about a 1,5 hour drive from the Jumbo rock campground.

So after getting some much needed rest we got up early in the morning to get too Deep Creek. The hot spring was located deep in a valley which meant we had a little bit of hiking to do.

That’s usually no problem but if the thermometer almost tops at 40 degrees (104 c Fahrenheit) it is quite a hike. Going down wasn’t the bad part because a really refreshing spring was waiting for us down in the valley. But going back up….. it definitely took some sweating.
All in all, Joshua Tree was really good for us and so far probably one of the best place we visited so far.
