Thanksgiving 
We are in Black Canyon City in an RV park. We went to the potluck here. Joe made a falafel salad thing and I think we were the only ones that ate any of it. I think it was a little too weird for a thanksgiving dinner I guess. Oh well. Now we know what we're having for dinner tonight. :) We had some good food though.

Phoenix 
Hmm... yeah. Let's just say we didn't like Phoenix and will never go back. We did go to a Kelly Clarkson concert which I thoroughly enjoyed and Joe suffered through. :) We left the city after that.
We'll just leave it at the "if you don't have anything good to say..."

We are currently staying at a nice RV park in Black Canyon City where we will spend Thanksgiving. We have even been invited to a potluck. Still debating on whether we'll go or not. Joe will have to come up with something to make. :)

Sonoran Desert National Monument 
We stayed in the Sonoran Desert for a couple nights. There wasn't much set up for it, but there was a road that went to a toilet, so we stayed there and went for some walks to check out the area. It was a neat area, but the first morning we were there a bunch of ATV's that went zooming down the road. For the most part, they just went past and kept on going. There was one group the, for some reason, decided to zip around by our RV, kicking dust up. Nice.

That small white speck is our RV. There were train tracks not terribly far away that was frequently used. It was mostly background noise, but we kept thinking a vehicle was coming down the dirt road. :)

A view near the top of a small mountain we went up.

A crazy, big cactus.

Joshua Tree Campground 
Well, we stayed at the Joshua Tree Campground for about 5 days and basically just worked. Pretty boring really. I guess the only reason I'm doing a separate entry for it is for the picture. :) So, here was our camping spot. barely anyone there except on the weekend. Then there were some tent campers around us.

Universal Studios 
So, Joe and I are nuts, and even after Mom and Laura left, we stayed in LA for a couple more days. We rode the metro for a couple hours and went to Universal Studios. It was fun. The theme park, not the metro. The first thing we went into was a haunted house, which was well put together. It had real people jump out at you (which is always annoying) but it was really funny because some women that were in front of us were super jumpy. Made it really funny.
We went on the studio tour which was neat. Getting to see the streets and back lots where they have western streets, European streets, suburbia, etc. Sounds like one of the streets we went by was just used in an episode of Heroes that week. They were in Ireland or something. Don't watch the show, so I don't really know.. . :)
We found a vegan restaurant that had been recommended to us that was down Hollywood Blvd. That had some very good food. We then took the metro back and got off where we thought was the closest to where the RV was. We ended up getting turned around and finally asked someone stopped at a stop light which direction the ocean was. After they confirmed it, we headed to the next bus stop and waited there (they had said it was miles away). Not long later, the same car pulled up and they offered us a ride. So, that was awfully nice of them. We got a ride back to the park. In all it was a fun day.
