So how was the camping trip? We have never been there to camp and it is on the list.

We enjoyed our stay. The temps had started to climb, so we became concerned about leaving the dogs in the RV while we did our adventures. Dogs are not allowed on the trails of Joshua Tree NP. As a result we stayed at 29 Palm RV resort. 50amp hookup so we could run the A/C's without worry.
We enjoyed the park itself, 4x4 roads, rock climbing, hiking, auto touring. Pack extra water.
Here's one of those sad but true stories. We had originally made a reservation at the Lazy H mobile home park and RV park. When we went to check in the lady told us she had a nice big site for us to back into. Sorry about the back in site, they were renovating the pull through sites. No Problem, so we walk over to the site she had, low and behold the neighbor had a pickup truck parked on the site. Looked to be 1997 S10 filled with gardening tools. Yes the neighbor was in a mobile home. The owner knocked on the door and asked the occupant to please move the truck, well it turns out it was friend of her boyfriends truck and they had parked it and left to go do something, she didn't have the keys. No, she couldn't call them, they had no cell phones, too expensive. The owner said that if the truck is removed she will have it towed away and heads back to the office.
I go back to the truck and explain this all to Barbara. I use my cell phone to call 29 palms and see if they have a site for us, they did. I went over to the office and explained to the owner that we had decided to just go on down to the other RV park, they had an open site for us. She was very nice and apologized for the inconvenience.
Yes we would have stayed there if the spot had been open, Barbara and I have lived in worse conditions when we were younger so had no fear of the place, but I would have kept everything locked up.
We left JTree and headed down to Oceanside, CA, stayed Guojome Regional Park, rode our bikes down to and along the beach, ate fish sandwiches.
We are now up at Idlyllwild, CA, supposedly to climb Tahquitz Rock, spend most of yesterday exploring, decided the climbs where not worth the work for us to get the gear up the mountain, had a nice hike though.
We are going to go to Universal Studios California Monday. We visited the one in Florida many times while we lived there, it will be interesting to see the differences.

Hi we just moved to Palm Springs, we want to take our 35’ Solitude up to Big Bear Lake sometime. Best way to get there? San Bernardino way or Lucerne Valley (which looks straight up!). Thanks

Obviously I searched and found this thread years later... can anyone tell me if it's safe to disconnect and leave your rig at the south BLM and drive to the north end and back for hiking?
