December 11, 2016 - Not All Viewpoints are Friendly

Today we hit the road south for the next chapter of road trip. Our destination is Joshua National Park. Part way through our drive I was ready for a picture taking break and a viewpoint pull out was on the horizon. Denis pulled in only to find that it was not a pull-thru viewpoint like we are used to. There was no way out except for the way we entered and no room for a turn-around.

Here we are trying to figure out if we can get turned around. I point, Denis steers. It didn't work. we ended up having to back out into the highway. We survived because we were on a background in the middle of the desert with little other traffic.
