i'm going on a 7 day vision quest of water only fasting and meditation in the (semi) wilderness.
I won't be moving around much, and would like a measure of isolation but have a camp somewhat close for safety.
Angeles Forest is the closest and my original plan, but a friend recommended Joshua tree. seems like cool geography, but also more for climbing (next trip!) than fasting. Any thoughts?
Answer
Joshua tree is known for it's ability to cause an inner peace with the solitude of the desert, and now is the best time to go there. Indian cove is one of the more popular camping sites and it is possible to reserve a site there. In the park at Hidden valley campground, a first come first served campground, there are a few trails leading out from there to what many believe are old native religious sites and many have said to have had interesting experiences there. Go climbing at least some bouldering putting yourself at one with your surroundings opens the mind to what God may want you to hear. In a Christian perspective Christ wandered in the desert for forty days and Joshua Tree is as close to the biblical desert we have around here.

i'm thinking of going camping this weekened. I've been to this areas around san bernandino like 2 months ago. And it sucked asss! looked really burnt out! hahaha So yeah!!
When I used to live in PA. There;s was a lot of nices places i used to go to . I'm in CA now and I rememebr going somewhere a few years ago here. I think it was joshua tree, sequoia not sure, something like that I forget. But it was nice.
Any good camp sites? With a place to fish? HELP!!!
No where to far. I'm not going to Drive more than 2 hours...i'm in like the LA, OC area.
I know theyre are plenty of them on the coast. Thanks!
WHAT I WAS MORE LOOKING FOR IS A SPOT WHERE YOU HAVE CAMPED BEFORE AND THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND.
Answer
It's too late in the year unless you gain some serious altitude - 8,000 feet or more - or hit the beach. Regular camp sites are hot and dusty from now until November. If it was me, I like solitude and since it's already hot I'd just go out to the desert and make my own camp site. Actually, since it is me, I do that all the time! A 4x4 gives you a lot more choices too. You'll have to sit out in the sun for about four hours though until you really believe you're fishing. But those fish stories are incredible!
Oh, I thought of one for you. Go to either Lytle Creek or Whitewater. Lytle Creek is just west/south of the 15/215 jct. and Whitewater is just this side of Palm Springs off the 10. Both have water in them for you to soak in since it's so stinking hot. Take a folding patio chair and find a pool to sit partially submerged and it's actually a great way to spend the day with a book or iPod. Both waters have been known to have fish in spots and seasonally. I wouldn't count on catching anything there though. Whitewater used to have a fish hatchery a ways up the canyon, and I bet it's still there. Who knows, you might get lucky. My choice would be Whitewater. I've spent more than a few hot days soaking in that water. Send me a message and I'll send you a couple of photos of my favorite 'pool' there.
