The Slow Lane JT, CA
The Joshua Tree collection came out of a few years of driving the same road.
These are the places on it. They run west to east, so Cactus Mart first and the park gate last. Two of them only happen on certain days and those are at the bottom.
Nothing here is sponsored. We just go.
