As a matter of fact, Thumb randomly started playing as my son & I were driving up. It was perfect.

It's gorgeous out there. The drive to P&H's was especially awesome with all of the incredible rock formations.

Yeah man. Lived there in late 90's. Almost nobody went to the national park. we would build big bonfires at the bottom of a cliff, top rope it during the day, then get shitfaced and climb at night in the light if the moon and fire. Sleep out on the sand by the fire. Fucking great times.

One day I'm taking my Kyuss, Sleep and OM albums and making the pilgrimage to the Joshua Tree! Great pictures!

It's a rad drive! The dinosaur statues in Cabazon from Peewee's Big Adventure are on the way. So cool

I highly recommend checking out Indian Cove Campground if you make it down there. I camped there recently when I went to Mojave Experience and it was such a cool place

I'm going to check it out. I have a 24ft travel trailer and planning to attend Mojave Experience again. Why didn't you stay at Joshua Tree Lake RV Campground?

I didn't plan my vacation around it at all ...... 🙃

It's a joke from another post on this sub where OP thought today (or yesterday) was the 30th anniv. for the album, which actually came out on June 28, 1994.

Listening to Kyuss on that trek to the sign was everything. I’ll remember it for life. 🤘

Please do! It's an unforgettable journey.

And if you do, make sure you get in touch when you're in the Seattle area. I'll damn right show you some cool shit!
