Annual Joshua Tree road trip in January. (Gathering) Part II

[dsmith2904]

I need to be around some normal, well-balanced people.

I can't guarantee that any of us are normal or well-balanced (at least I know I'm not), but at least we're all super cool.

Is this a glitch or new and permanent?

^ I was noting that in the previous post you'd made a comment about 'drama' and there happens to be a drama teacher in attendance for this trip. Then in your next post you used the word 'bar' which is ironic, since you're a LAWYER!!!

Apparently, I keep coming up with these puns that I'm not intending and only realizing after zooey points them out to me! I'm like Bono: Edge knows what the lyrics are about before Bono does. hahahaha ;-)

 

[zuropa_fit]

Aw, I'm the Edge to your Bono

 

[FitzChivalry]

Aw, I'm the Edge to your Bono

I feel an UTEOTW BATTLE coming on in the middle of the desert!

 

[zuropa_fit]

"Jesus, this is Judas!"

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

"Jesus, this is Judas!"

Fantastic.

hey guys/gals, where is this at;????

 

[zuropa_fit]

Ask Martha - she seems to have done this before. Oh MARTHA!!!!!

 

[bonocomet]

It's Bodie and it isn't on our route. It's farther north. (closer to central CA and near the NV state line) I have been past the turn off to get there and always want to find the time to go but haven't recently.

We should also stop at the telephone poles spot where there are some U2 photos. I know they are on the road we'll be on if we can find the right ones. (Martha? )

Getting about stopping at telephone poles in the middle of the desert...

 

[FitzChivalry]

That is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE photos of U2!!!!!!!! I think I still have it in poster form somewhere.

We're just 19 days away (right?).

A trip to Bodie would be cool. But that might have to be scheduled later - on a three day weekend or something? Be great to go there one day.

Get out of that there box!! There certainly isn't room enough for all of us in there!

YAY!!!!! Vacation with mah U2 peeps! I'm bringing the scrapbook I made of last year's trip, too.

Look carefully. I'm trying not to crack up.

Bodie is an over-nighter.

I'm not sure what telephone poles you're talking about, though.

(The pic looks weird because it's two snapshots lined up. Pre-digital.)

You'll walk up from the parking lot, look to your right and say out loud: "Holy shit! This is the place!" It's a well-marked scenic point.
