TPF Con 2005! Joshua Tree National Park

What's a solar shower?

It's a special bag that you fill with water and hang it in the sun. The sun heats the water so that your shower isn't cold. In a public camp ground, you generally shower with a swim suit on. I had a couple of these back when we used to camp and they work well. I'll keep on the look out for them next time I'm at my storage garage. The only problem that I'm thinking is that most of the campgrounds don't have water. You have to haul it in.

More likely is that in the middle of the day when the sun is the most harsh, we will be taking turns getting a shower in the rv or at a hotel. We will know more once Chase and I do our scouting mission. Keep you all posted.

Question for those providing airport pickup:

Is everyone flying in on Thursday? I had originally thought Friday but I don't want us to be the only ones on Friday. Also, when are people flying out on Monday? Just want to book tickets that make it easiest for everyone.

All of a sudden it doesn't seem all that far off! And Corry, bring a hat, some wet wipes and deoderant and you're all set

 

[Corry]

Sweeeeeet. I couldn't sleep last night cuz I kept thinking about stuff about the trip...mostly ways to word it when I ask my boyfriend again tonight!

Chase and I are doing the pick ups. Matt is coming in at 1pm on Thursday. Since his return flight leaves at 1030am on Monday, we were hoping that most would come in about the same time so we could get an early start out to Joshua Tree. If we need to make a Friday trip to the airport, one of us will do that too.

Have to see what my money situation is closer to time .... and if it matches my kids spring break from school!!!

I may join. Good choice of location, very pretty there. Why did you pick this spot over others? Just curious. If (IF!) I come, I'll be coming from Oregon and would offer a ride (minivan) to anyone on the way.

Tentatively planning on perhaps going to New Orleans , then Savannah , then Joshua Tree ..... before heading off the San Fran and Canada.....

( oh boyyy this aint gonna be cheap :LOL: ).
