My back yard is a desert tortoise national reserve, literally, they end up in my yard. So I get to see many throughout the season. However, after almost reaching a 1000 routes climbed at Jtree, this is my first Tortoise spotting in Joshua Tree National Park. This is a large tortoise, I am guessing 40 yrs old.
