Go get a late pass. Step.
Step.

I do not love the Joshua Tree. (I guess Moab has spoilt me, but I'll take my desert with a heap of BLM and USFS designation.) We had a good time anyways- what else are you gonna do?- and came home dirty, sunburned and tired so there can be no other conclusion but that we ruled it all over that joint...
Still. Overheard during my conversation with the ranger:
"How much have you had to drink?"
"Whose slingshot is this?"
"You can be charged with restoration costs for riding off trail in a National Park."
etc.
There are other brow raising details I will not post in this forum. Ask me in person how stupid and how lucky I am.
I will say: leave room in your traveling schedule for the occasional stop for thrift shops or shooting BB guns in the middle of nowhere, behind those gravel piles.
