I may also have your photos from that trip, our first, to Salton City. I had to go back to old CDs to find them.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-30813123936369821442019-01-16T07:33:44.860+01:002019-01-16T07:33:44.860+01:00I found a batch of photos dated approximately Feb....I found a batch of photos dated approximately Feb. 15 to 18, 2002.

We also went through Box Canyon, which is a shortcut to Joshua Tree National Park. <br />I have photos somewhere; if I can find them, I'll send them to you. Same with a photo of Collette, but in Box Canyon this time. She was also with us in Painted Canyon.chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-44842046949137393252019-01-15T11:12:36.029+01:002019-01-15T11:12:36.029+01:00I don't remember going to Painted Canyon near ...I don't remember going to Painted Canyon near the Salton Sea.

It was October, after all.<br /><br />chm, I'm not sure about Painted Canyon, but Collette rolling and being bathed in Lemon Fresh Joy was in 2003, on our way to North Carolina, and France. I expect that the ocotillo is a member of the ocotillo family... ;)<br /><br />evelyn, not every site has them, so I'll bet they're the first ones taken.<br /><br />chris, the internet makes traveling vicariously so much easier than it used to be!wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-75788774487423525262019-01-14T16:18:48.630+01:002019-01-14T16:18:48.630+01:00Nice trip.
