Today I went to Joshua Tree National
Park named after the Joshua tree. The Joshua tree looks like it has
multiple, crooked arms with pointy fingers. According to legend,
early Mormon travelers (who were religious people) traveled west and
saw a grove of young two-armed plants. They named them “Joshua”
trees after biblical Joshua reaching toward heaven.
The terrain we drove through was rough
and dry, and in places rocky, sometimes with huge rocks. Apparently, alpacas do well in this kind of environment. When we
arrived at the overlook, I could see the San Andreas fault in the
distance. This is a place where the earth moves, sometimes causing
earth quakes. I was glad I took my trekking poles!
