Highlights: Slab City to NOLA

4/25
Finally uploaded some pictars from the rest of the trip today. I don't wanna do all the heavy journal searching and transcribing today so...


Oasis at the Visitor Center of Joshua Tree


A bit of boulder climbing


Do not reenact this scene here


The Salton Sea. 226 feet below sea level.


The beach is made of barnacle shells and covered in dead fish due to the ever increasing salinity.




Salvation Mountain


Made of adobe


Slab City




On our way to Phoenix we drove through some sand dunes. There were dune buggies and such racing around on them.


Downtown Phoenix
Her Secret is Patience created by Janet Echelmen


View from some rock formations in Papago Park


En route to Santa Fe, we encountered some snow while traveling through Tonto National Park.


Grassland stuff


While heading to Santa Fe we came across the National Petrified Forest. Here is a nice view of the Painted Desert.


Espied some petroglyphs through a telescope while heading to the petrified tree area of the park.


How does wood get so hard


The trees are just laying around, poking out of the mud hills. So surreal.


Made it to Santa Fe, found a bookstore. This is a rad owl.


One of the only reasons to ever go to Santa Fe


Roswell,NM


In the Alien Museum, there is an angry fat disembodied head


Advice skeleton in Carlsbad,NM


Entrance road/canyon to Carlsbad Caverns National Park



We are explorers


The Cave entrance. You can watch the bats leave at night






Some light painting






On the way to Austin,TX. West Texas is a vast empty place

By Ladybird Lake


Epiphytes in all the trees


Exploring the river


Ran into some Asheville friends and had a campfire at their place


Made it to New Orleans for the last two days of Mardi Gras






This dog lived at the place we were staying. His name is Capote


Last night of Mardi Gras means Twister in the road and yelling at every vehicle nearby while biking about.
