Joshua Tree, Nov 2014

Our senior pup, Pogo, turned 19 last November, and is now slowed down by arthritis.  Our outings that used to be multiday backpacking, rock scrambling, crossing rivers, and some other strenuous and challenging activities have been adjusted to car camping.  The adjustment is a little harsh since car camping doesn't offer the same taste of nature earned through sweat and tears.  Nevertheless, here we were at Joshua Tree with our senior dog enjoying the desert with the beautiful sunsets and moon, the early morning hearty breakfast, some barbeque, bikes ride, and lots and lots of love and togetherness.
