Training... what are we doing to train you ask?

Well I've been trying to walk more.  The last couple of weeks I walked or went to the YMCA five out of every seven days... So I guess that's better than nothing.  This past weekend Dewey and I met some friends out at Joshua Tree National Park (near Palm Desert--Palm Springs) and we hiked two great trails.


Sunday - we hiked Lost Palm Oasis, 8 miles, ~400 feet elevation gain, ~4 hours round trip  (note to Meg: How long was that walk again?)


Monday - we hiked the Art Smith trail, 6 miles, ~1000 feet elevation gain, ~5 hours round trip.  (note to self:  check the Qstarz for the details)


The hikes were wonderful!  The desert is at that perfect stage between full flower bloom and desert scorch.  We were even surprised by running into this guy....
