We arrived in Twentynine Palms, CA from the east on Rt. 62 the most desolate road ever built. As we rolled into town, it wasn't exactly a diamond in the rough. Our destination, Twentynine Palms Golf and RV Park was a pleasant relief. I think it is the lack of grass that gives the area and houses an abandoned look. The huge Marine Base nearby influences the character of the town. If one desires a "marine cut" or a tattoo the opportunities are many!
The great thing is we are two miles from Joshua Tree Nat'l Park! Our plan is to do a bit of volunteering in the Park and enjoy the hiking and the weather. However, a Camphost spot is vacant at Black Rock Canyon Campground. After much measuring and remeasuring and sketching it out on graph paper, we have determined that the Bighorn can be maneuvered (by excellent driving and directional suggestions) into the only site in the campground that has a full hookup...without violating any of the Joshua Trees. They are not forgiving trees; they have stiff unbending limbs and long, sharp projectiles that must be avoided. Our home for the Winter will be a Nat'l Park!!
