Writer for Joshua Tree Journal : Southwestern Road Trip

2005-03-13 to 2005-03-21

I am creating this journal a year and a half after taking a wonderful roadtrip with Amanda around the southwestern states stopping at so many of the beautiful national parks. I won't really be narrating any of it, but rather simply want to record my itenerary, and group my photos together, both of which this site does an excellent job at doing! So anyways, I hope you enjoy and are maybe inspired to do the same!

You can click Explore Photos below to view photos for each place, or if you click it on this Intro page, you will get all of the photos from the whole trip!
