A friendly Granite Spiny Lizard in the Needles, Ca. He followed me up most of the pitch. Prior to climbing with me, he was chasing a female spiny on the wall. Their interactions were hilarious!<br>

Trundling giant sized boulders down onto rafters (to add to their expensive backcountry experience)KIDDING, PEOPLE! I know, not funny. Anyway, this is another angle of the enticing cliff's edge at Toroweap with it's 3,000' vertical drop. I was startled when I heard Jonny yell, "SWEEEEEETIE, BE VERY CAREFUL!!" A beautiful, but hot summer day.<br>

Looking back at Castle Peaks on the hike out on a beautiful late evening. <br>
<br>
But the adventures of Jonny, and Gigi wasn't over yet! We decided to try out another long stretch of dirt road that rides on an old railroad bed that will get us to Searchlight, Nevada. On the bumpy ride out, we enjoyed our snack of smoked cracked pepper salmon on wheat thins, homemade chocolate chip cookies, and Perrier; yummy! Life is good! <br>
<br>
Anyway, we did make it in our 2WD truck; the road was tricky in quite a few spots, but worth it; beautiful old mining remnants along the way!<br>
<br>
I love the Mojave desert; so much to explore.<br>

There are lots of cool rock formations nearing the base of the Castle Peaks in the Mojave Preserve. <br>
<br>

It's downclimb 30 feet of steep, chossy rock, or rap from this anchor. We rapped, as we brought along a 60 foot rope, and some gear, not knowing beforehand what to really expect as far as the "climbing section" to the summit.<br>
<br>
We scampered up this section in hiking boots (maybe one or two moves of 5.5 or 5.6 on chossy rock, then scrambled to the summit. A fun little route! The hike to Castle Peaks, and the summit was beautiful; it was all good!<br>

You can always find something to dyno in the middle of the desert. Jonny, as usual can't resist a dyno, or a jump when he sees one.<br>

A nice view of Half Dome.

Great panoramic views of Las Vegas, and desert views of Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and Boulder City can be seen from the high up on the hilltops in Bootleg Canyon. <br>
<br>
I'm not into extreme mountain biking, but there's some pretty fun-looking steeps, jumps, turns, and scary ass trails in Bootleg Canyon!<br>

Gotta love the calming views atop DAFF Dome. <br>

Looking out at Fairview Dome, Cathedral Peak, and Eichorn Pinnacle.

This was my third climbing trip to J-Tree. The first time I hated the climbing, as everything felt hard. The second time it was a love hate relationship, and the third was where I fell in love with the climbing in J-Tree; especially after doing a few of the multi-pitch routes, and getting the hang of jamming. I can't wait until the next trip out!<br>

A friendly ringtail that hung out with us for most of the night at our campsite in the Stronghold. We had the campground all to ourselves that night; and it was a windless, and warm night for December! : )<br>

The Trouble with Tribbles will never end...<br>

McCoy: "It's a human trait to love little animals, especially if they're attractive in some way."<br>
Spock: "Doctor, I am well aware of human traits, I am frequently inundated by them, but I've trained myself to put up with just about anything."<br>
McCoy: "Spock, I don't know much about these things, but I do know one thing. I like them... better than I like you!"<br>
Spock: "Doctor, they do indeed have one redeeming quality."<br>
McCoy: "What's <br>
that?"<br>
Spock: "They do not talk too <br>
much."<br>

Jonny putting on rain gear as we left Marl Springs on the old historic Mojave Road. Note the stormy sky over the Cima Dome in the distance. <br>
<br>
After brushing up on a few history books, and reading some of first travelers/explorers, and native peoples personal accounts, and experiences in the east Mojave desert; it's fun to imagine how the ancient tribes, the Mojaves, Chemehuevis, Spanish Conquistadors, Jedidiah Smith, and all the other brave, and adventurous souls who lived in, or entered this land fared.<br>
<br>
We were fortunate to get a little break from the rain after being cooped up in our bivy sacks for a good part of the day at Marl Springs. We took advantage of it, and took a side hike to locate some old mines; it was worth it, as we came across some fairly untouched old mining ruins in a beautiful area; but the break in stormy weather was short-lived, as we watched another storm moving in. In this photo we had 9 miles of hiking left in stormy weather on our Mojave Road adventure. We felt lucky to not see another soul during our trek, and didn't mind hiking in the rain, and wind.<br>
