This interview with strangers/new friends Bill and Jan was from a camping trip to Joshua Tree that I took with my friend Lily in February 2016. We met them when we realized we needed kindling for our camp fire, and soon got to talking about much more. They retired as camp hosts in the national parks system, which means they stay at campgrounds for a few months at a time and guide visitors... which is my retirement plan, so I loved talking to them. They were a delight to get to know and I hope you enjoy!
