The drive looks beautiful, even without the hike, as you said. I'm learning that it's a good idea to take my hiking poles along, even if I think I don't need them -- every time I don't take them, I wish I had them! Then again, there are times that I think, "Why am I dragging these darned poles along?" :-)) Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-30454066237907544832015-12-30T07:45:15.454-08:002015-12-30T07:45:15.454-08:00I kept saying "This is right where Pam said t...I kept saying "This is right where Pam said the sign should be!" Didn't think that the vehicles were there for the trail :-) We almost missed the 17 Palms sign the day before, so it might be intentional :-))))Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-43260996337343311062015-12-29T20:44:46.900-08:002015-12-29T20:44:46.900-08:00I forgot all about the no dog sign.

There is always the next time:) But I am glad you drove further down the canyon. The road further on to Sand Canyon is so pretty. You are right about the drive to the Wind Caves being great all by itself. We missed the sign the first time, also. It is way too small and not exactly near where you drive. Not sure if that is on purpose or not.<br /><br />Glad you had family and Ezra come to visit for Christmas. Fun times I'm sure:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-26608246505537853192015-12-29T18:39:14.891-08:002015-12-29T18:39:14.891-08:00It really was a great drive!!
