Joshua Tree, CAI didn't get around to putting together a great writeup for today, so I'll just post some images and give a brief synopsis. I'm not certain how many more of the in-depth day-by-day posts I'll do, as I may do more themed posts about thoughts I'm having along the way. We'll see how the writing goes.
I made it to Joshua Tree Friday evening, and it felt like a homecoming. I remembered the coarseness of the rock and the weird structures. Very comfortable. Unfortunately, all weekend long I had bad luck finding partners for trad climbing, so I spent some time bouldering and did some hiking. A couple of awkward bouldering falls spooked me a bit, but hopefully my boldness won't be too long in returning. A long hike Sunday afternoon brought me to a beautiful little alcove surrounded by rocks at least 50' high. A great place to sit and meditate.
I hope to do more trad climbing over the next few days, and will spend the President's Day weekend in LA avoiding the crowds. More posts then.
An interesting rock formation

Hi James!
I am really, really, happy that you finally hit the road. I wish all the best in your adventure. I am, obviously, very jealous.
Take care of yourself, and keep us all updated.
