Joshua Tree, Day 2

After another kick ass breakfast by Juanita (did I mention she used to have a catering business ?!) we headed into the park again

to check out the Roadside boulders, near the Hemingway buttress. I watched a guy on this route:
which I think is only 5.9, but looks STOUT for the grade. We busied ourselves with a somewhat cranky little baby and the V-easy problems near the base



Then moved on to another set of roadside boulders, where I got shut down by warmups again

but was happy to send "La Migra"... a super fun problem



We then wandered around with an increasingly irritated Zoe (the temperature was great during the day -- low to mid 50's, but dropped rapidly around 3 pm)




and finally left when it looked like the little one was going to core meltdown.




We had another fabulous dinner prepared by Juanita and watched "The Departed". Jack Nicholson has become kind of a caricature IMO.
