It's so great to not be in busy traffic again. We're finally able to take it slow, and we've spent the last two days in Joshua Tree National. Park. It's two deserts here (Mojave and Colorado deserts), and this odd tree only grows in the Mojave part. It really seems like Dr. Seuss got some of his ideas from the flora in this area. The Colorado desert area looked very similar to Nome's tundra--very vast and desolate. This is a haven for rock climbers, and the boys, especially Tyler, did their fair share of rock climbing. They also "hunted" for lizards, but we only saw one the whole time.
We're actually in Arizona now and we're not missing Nome's 14 degree weather right now--it's a balmy 76 degrees here.

love it there. you're hitting it at the right time of year too. its so deathly hot in the summer that its hard to enjoy it. oh i so wish i could have seen the boys "hunting". sooooo cute! if lizards is what they want, then you must, must find a way to get to escalante, utah. its absolutely covered. take the short hike to lower calf creek falls and you will have lizards to your heart's content . . . as well as tons of tiny little frogs too.
