Death Valley, California, October 24, 2009
We’re a bunch of nuts. We know that much.
What other group of people would drive 12 hours round trip to see a dead tree?
It was the day after the Vegas U2 360 show and we were all in relative proximity to the legendary Joshua Tree, which the band was photographed next to back in the 80s. Never mind that it would take nearly six hours to get to—or that it had fallen dead many years ago—this was a sacred site in our world and we wanted to pay our respects together, as one.
I explain my complete journey in this essay I composed for our site.
A video from our first stop at the majestic Zabriskie Point (also a pit stop for our favorite band) can be found here.
And if you want to see the iconic photo that we’re trying desperately to duplicate in the first video, follow this link.
