While we may not be able to hit a record, six parks this year, we are still on our quest to cover all fifty-nine.  We started out 2018 with a California classic, Joshua Tree National Park.  It is no wonder that Joshua Tree is a rock climbing mecca.  Rock piles are as plentiful, if not more so, than the Joshua Trees that give the park it's name.  Our kids have never met a rock pile they didn't like, so this park was their dream come true.
