Climbing Shoes

Ephesians 6:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Joshua Tree National Park is one of my most loved places on earth. It is only about a two hour drive from our current home. The best part of the park is the Wonderland of Rocks. My brother and I go there as often as we can get an excuse. We often have a number of friends or acquaintances with us since they provide the needed excuse.

We love to scramble around on the vast boulders ranging in size from the dimensions of a car on up to a small mountain. Many years ago we went there with Mark and Jeff who did a lot of technical climbing with several thousand dollars worth of equipment. We always do free climbing—with no extra equipment. They enjoyed the extra challenge of climbing with us using no equipment. Naturally we didn’t do some climbs that really required a rope and other gear for safety.
