Roxanne and I set out to cover the second half of the epic four day 1,600 mile desert trip I took with Andrew in 2000. We spent a whole week on just these places south of Death Valley, plus some additions. Here's part two. Breaking camp at Joshua Tree National Park we stopped at the town of 29 Palms, CA for a hike.
