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> <br> Taken 10/11/07

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> <br> 4/30/08

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> <br> 1/13/10
