Location: Santa Barbara | YES! I haven't been to Joshua tree since I was, I dunno...4? Holy cow, I'm way in! I'll bring my camping gear, and I should have snake wrangling stuff by then for sure :D I'm totally stoked, and I'm down for picking people up on the way (I'm in Santa Barbara). I'll also bring tons of distilled water so we have plenty of good, pure, drinking stuff. |

Location: Fort Smith, Arkansas | As long as it doesn't cross paths with the spring Arizona trip (currently scheduled for April 17th to 21st...give or take a couple days on either side for me because I might not be ready to leave AZ by then) then I'm in. I went to JT in February. The only time I have ever been, and it was snowing. |

Rosy Boas! I'd love to go on this trip, but it depends how many classes I'm missing for the Arizona outing.

I found a list on their website:
http://www.joshua.tree.national-park.com/camping.htm#camp
I'm not picky, but I think the lower elevations might have more reptiles, since higher elevations can get pretty darn chilly some nights in the big sand-box. |

There's lots of great herping both in and outside of the park. |

Location: Hemet CA | I'm looking at indian cove as far as the camp grounds go it sounds nice. and not to mention theres a lot of desert tortoise sightings in that area. I would love to get some pics of one. not to mention that its a large area and close to the oasis. so i would assume that theres something in it for invert lovers a well and maybe some amphibious life as well.

Location: Santa Barbara | What do you guys say on May 21-24-ish? It'll be toasty, so we may want to start early in the morning and evenings, then go black lighting when night falls.
I hope no one forgot about this trip! |

Location: Fort Smith, Arkansas | I'm backing out. IF I'm not herping in Arkansas then, chances are I'll be back in Arizona. I kinda fell in love with that place. Haha |
