This is supported when Joshua nearly electrocutes himself by sticking a knife into a plugged-in toaster in order to get his muffin out.

Ai won the battle and killed about 36 men and chased them off their land. Joshua 7:2-6. Ai and Bethel battle: Joshua chose 30,000 men of valor to go hide in an ambush behind Ai.

Their mandate is to "conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein” in an unimpaired condition so that they might be enjoyed by present and future generations."

These effects can offset the balance of the parks environment, which would also disrupt the aesthetic of them to visitors.

Friday rolled around, and my father was finally done with all of our meetings, so we made our plans to drive the hour to Joshua Tree National Park. The park was littered with numerous Joshua Trees, which were tree-like bushes that looked straight out of a Dr. Seuss book. They had arms sprouting from their bushy trunks that made them look like a Saguaro cactus, and fronds that made them look like palm trees. The park
