Joshua Tree II.

All over JT on the ground were zillions of large red ants. Perhaps they hold the secret to JT's surprising cleanliness by devouring anything inconsiderate tourists might leave behind. I wonder if they're all part of one gigantic hive (is that the word?) connected via thousands of miles of underground tunnels.

Pilar circumnavigates Cap Rock as the sun sets. The Gram Parsons memorial is located at this gigantic boulder? Monolith?

Pilar is happy to find the Gram Parsons Memorial. The graffiti was relatively tasteful, so it didn't seem that out of place. Below is the side of a van we saw passing through the town of Joshua Tree. I especially like the "DRUGGIES" category.
