Oasis

The desert is pretty dry without very much shade. But here and there water comes up to the surface and forms an oasis that all life forms, including humans, flock to. The Cottonwood Springs oasis in Joshua Tree National Park is one such place. I'm standing in front of some giant California fan palms (Washingtonia filifera).

If you travel in this area, you can get the best date-flavored milkshakes in America over at the Chiriaco Summit café on Interstate 10. The Ice Cream Goddess has given them her stamp of approval.
