I was in the mood for something loud last night, so I headed over to The Hood Bar and Pizza in Palm Desert to check out a few local bands that were playing. I arrived in time to see thrash metal band Instigator deliver a hard-driving set that got everyone motivated and ready to party. After that, theatrical industrial punk band Sticky Doll took the stage and put on an unforgettable show that combined punk music with performance art. I had a great time and look forward to my next adventure at The Hood.
Joshua Tree National Park
Joshua Tree National Park is an incredible place to hike and camp, with massive boulders scattered across the landscape just begging to be climbed. The distinctive Joshua trees add striking color and texture to the desert scenery, giving the park its otherworldly charm. On one visit, I even spotted a coyote strolling casually down the road, completely unfazed—a perfect reminder of the wildness that still thrives out there.
