    Joshua NP is right there where the town of 29 Palms is. The base is a few miles north of the town, through some maybe 5 mile stretch of nothing. But who knows now? 29 Palms USMC base is quite isolated. Next time I go to Vegas, I'm going to rent a car and take a drive around the high desert. The surrounding hills and desert around Vegas reminded me alot of 29 Palms. Instant flashbacks. Only in Vegas there is more casinos, more beer and more .......you guessed it.......WENCHES (As Conan would say it.)

    I did make it to LA quite a few times. Especially in the Hollywood area. Would stay at the Holiday inn there. HOLLYWIERD for sure. When I was there, the song "VALLEY GIRLS" came out. We went to Valley Mall just to see if they really talked that way, but no female there would give us poor jarheads the time of day. SOB SOB....(They must have caught wind that we just show up on weekends to tear up the town.)

    Late as usual with my post..Love 29 Palms, or the area at least. Just took the 2 Claremont-based granddaughters (6 & 9) camping 3 days before T'giving, to Desert Hot Springs (do we haaaaave to leave???) and Joshua Tree (my 2nd time), a blast. But 29 Palms (the place) likes to get real confusing because its main attraction for my money is an oasis you can hike to called 49 Palms!! Go figger! Happy Yuletide all.
