Welcome, onechristie.
The trip is planned for Saturday, February 27th. The group is meeting at Mel's Diner in Rancho Cucamonga, CA at 8:00 a.m. From there we will caravan out to Death Valley where
the joshua tree is. (In case you didn't already know, the tree is no longer standing and lies on the ground -- but it is still an amazing sight.) After visiting the tree, we are going to continue on to Zabrinske Point (where the actual cover photo of
The Joshua Tree album was taken). We may make a couple stops along the way if we see some of the photography sites where Anton shot many of
The Joshua Tree promo pictures.
After Zabrinske Point, we will part ways and all head-on home. zuropa_fit is renting a van (approximately $21 per person) so that about 8 of us can fit into one vehicle. When the day is done, zuropa_fit will drive all those in the van back to where we all leave our individual vehicles at the Ontario Mills Mall.
Most of the group did almost this exact same trip one year ago, so you can feel confident that we know where we're going and what we're doing. And just like last year, it is going to be a very long day, so if you do go, plan on not getting back home until very late at night.
