Joshua Tree for Thanksgiving

[Marygb]

Hi everyone

Got my first road trip now under my belt, and learned a lot (tho I'm sure it is just the tip of the iceberg). Now for something special. I want to spend a couple of days over Thanksgiving 'off the grid' at Joshua Tree. I am thinking of going to the North Joshua Tree public lands area. Has anyone had experience staying there/getting there? Any pertinent information that I should take on board before heading away boon docking for the first time?

Thanks in advance.
Mary
