A Landers Outing

The other day my dog, Vinko, and I ventured out to visit the local park on a day when they're not having a fireworks show.

It's not that they have a fireworks show more than once a year, it's just that's the only time I pay much attention to our park. It's located about halfway between the cabin and the Integratron, right off a paved road, and has everything you'd expect in a park.

There's an adjacent baseball diamond, a basketball court with one ten foot and one six foot basket, a barbecue (grilling) spot, some covered benches, a sandy play area, horseshoe pitch, and even a couple patches of grass. I have to admit the grassy areas surprised me, but didn't impress Vinko.
Because of its location here in the Morongo Basin, it has a couple Yucca (Joshua) trees, but no real tall ones. This one is about 1.5 meters tall (around four feet).

A rare type of cactus for this area reminds people this is a desert
And, before we left the play area ...
even got some visitors!
What Vinko found more interesting, however, was an artistic arrangement of boulders.
After doing all the exploring we could do, we left.
