I wanna feel sunlight on my face.
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace.
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
– U2
My husband, my brother, and myself all bought a house together back in 2011. Now today, that era has sadly come to an end. My brother Cody moved to Seattle this morning. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been sobbing ALL. DAY. LONG. I know I’m probably a bit more sensitive/dramatic than others… but I really am going to miss sharing a house with my brother! Today seems like the perfect day to share the pictures from my Mojave Desert Joshua Tree Road Scenic Backway adventure. U2’s album The Joshua Tree was released almost 30 years ago on the day Cody was born. We both love the band and the album.
This scenic backway is in the southwest corner of Utah, near the Arizona and Nevada borders. The gravel road is a little less than 20 miles long. The scenery is diverse and wonderful! I will most definitely be driving this road again soon.
Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
-U2
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust.
I’ll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
– U2
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I’m still running
– U2
Sleep comes like a drug
In God’s country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God’s country
– U2
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
– U2
