Palm Desert Blogger Mancation With Toyota TRD Pro

Most people would avoid the extreme heat of the desert - but not us! We're headed to one of the hottest parts of the country to prove our strength, stamina, and fortitude as we explore abandoned gold mines in Joshua Tree National Park and push the TRD Pro Tacoma, Tundra, and 4Runner to the limit. 

For this trip, we'll be staying in a luxury villa hosted by Marriott Vacation Rentals at Shadow Ridge. 

Thank you to sponsors for this trip who have provided:

Lodging: Marriott Vacation Club - Marriott Shadow Ridge Resort

Vehicles: 2017 Toyota TRD Pro Tacoma, Tundra, and 4Runner

Radios: Midland

Drinks: Khortytsa Ice and Hot Honey Pepper Vodka 

Food: Islands Burgers

Tailgater Tire Table was also a great addition since while the Tundra and Tacoma trucks had great tailgates ... the 4Runner needed help.
