Native Palms and Desert Pachyderms

[Latimeria]

Took the family out to the desert for a hike to the palm oasis and even stopped to see the desert statues.  It was gorgeous out there and probably the busiest I've ever seen it.  LOL

Come to think of it, spring break and a lot of people who are Koga's age out there right now.

Somewhere up there is a Palm Oasis.



The flowers were in full bloom and there was more greenery than I think I ever seen before.



I was astounded by the amount of rushing water and even multiple waterfalls!





















It was a great 3-hour hike before heading to check out the sculptures.  We didn't see them all, but did a drive by and checked a ton of them out.









We hit Julian for a lunch and road tripped our way back through some scenery before heading to Lowe's and picking up the new Water Heater.

Great way to spend a family day and the weather was absolutley perfect out.  I wish we spent a few days out there, but the girls were good for just a day trip.

Thanks for reading.  Cheers!

Cool spot. I realize I've seen pics of it before without it being identified.

Just over the hill from us, I drive past it often but never stopped to see the sculptures. Nice day trip for sure !
