Thank you Thomas! Joshua Tree National Park has always had a European rock climbing presence in the spring and fall. Tourism has exploded here in the last few years because of social media and short term rentals like AirBnB. It’s very hard to get a camping reservation in the national park...so the short term rentals have allowed for increased occupancy in Joshua Tree and the neighboring communities...
You may be right as locals like me are seeing a lot more tourists from abroad...

i think i have mentioned this in other places before. to me the best "vintage vw" pics are the ones where the focus is on something else and the bus just "happens to be there".
good work
