Joshua Tree National Park is a really strange place. It has dozens of weird rock formations that appear to be placed randomly by some superior sentient being just to piss us off and wonder how on earth  these things got here as they don’t seem to belong to the general landscape and stick out like a teetotaler on a stag do! They take on many shapes and get labelled accordingly, so we have Skull Rock, Arch Rock and many others that someone, possibly stoned, went around naming them. Then there are the Joshua Trees that are everywhere and are a cross between a real tree and a cactus and seem only to be there so Bono could name a U2 album after them and for that reason alone should be eradicated from the planet!! After that we drove through to Phoenix and along the way heard genuine radio adverts for firearms, weed, alcohol and viagra which, collectively, would cater for a damn good night out 😋😋😋. Reaching Old Scottsdale in Phoenix, which is the old part of the town we spent a very pleasant evening watching and having explained to us the rules of baseball. And I thought cricket was complicated!! So we’re safely back in the hotel in the company of a certain Mr Jack Daniels and ready to explore the old town tomorrow
