On my last day of the #DrivingMatters adventure I got up after a great night of sleep in the Bottle Room of Irene’s Adobe. This was part of the 29 Palms Inn. Irene’s Adobe consists of three parts, the Adobe then the Bottle Room and The Darkroom. Irene was an artist and the building boasts many unique touches including a great courtyard where we were able to gather last night and do an awards ceremony where one person even went home with a brand new Napoleon Grill, I think that Mike, The Gentleman Racer, won that. We also enjoyed a nice meal at the 29 Palms Inn restaurant and then watched part of the movie Vacation. But this morning it was about packing up and getting on the road. I had a long day and night ahead of me. I was heading home.
Josh took me back to the airport and we had another great conversation. It was so nice to get to know so many great people on this trip. They were excellent travel companions and adventurers. After the vlog I have a couple of images, that were taken by Heather, and links out to my fellow #DrivingMatters travelers.
This was my third day on an adventure in Joshua Tree National Park. I have been on a Men Who Blog trip sponsored in part by Mazda. Images and evidence of this adventure can be seen with the hashtag of #DrivingMatters on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. We were also sponsored by Napoleon Grills and Hormel Foods with Support from DriveShop. You can see my other adventurers over at the Mazda #DrivingMatters Exploring The Desert page.
Morning came quickly today but I slept quite well despite it being cold at night in the desert. I was very warm in my sleeping bag with my hat and socks on. I had a special pillow and also my neck pillow (for air travel) with me. I think the first night I was just a big mess because of how little I slept up to that point and then the time change. I was so out of it when I got up yesterday.
today, however I got up with purpose, to capture the sunrise. I was very pleased with all the night shots that I had taken the previous two nights that I wanted to capture a good sunrise shot. That would be the one from today’s Photo-A-Day. My vlog today is of all the places that I visited today.
