Why is Amy blushing? Well, little did she know how SHARP the Joshua Trees were, and because she's a klutz, she was getting ready to pose and bumped into this one, poking a hole in her forehead. Duh.

On our 2nd trip to Joshua Tree, we hiked to the Lost Palms Oasis--I don't know why it's called that, it was clearly marked on the map.

We thought these big palm trees looked like Muppets.

And about 1 hour past Lost Palms was Victory Palms. TWO palm trees. Big whup.

More palms.
