This is actually what the National Park is named after, this is a Joshua Tree.
Huge boulders that they say came up out of the ground many many many years ago. They were huge.
This was a beautiful view. We had crested a hill and this was looking into a valley and across to mountains higher than us with snow on those mountains.

This is the outside of the General Patton Memorial Museum. Here is where he trained the army for war during the World War II. Our men wasn't prepared to fight in the weather that Africa and other parts of the war so General Patton had the men there to train them to fight overseas.
This is a picture of General Patton. When I first got there my thought was that doesn't look like General Patton to me. Of course then I remembered when I seen General Patton it was always George C. Scott in the movies. LOL
This is the sign we seen before entering the outside area for the tanks. I told Bob you look at the tanks, I'll keep a check on the ground. Didn't see any snakes.
One of the tanks used during General Patton's time.
