Joshua Trees are still here
We took this photo a year ago. Last night we set up in the same spot, in the dark, by memory. Always fun when backing a 30' trailer. The little photon source is the moon. The current night sky is sweeping storm clouds, and patches of brilliant starts, winds above 20kts and temps below 40o. We've had 24 hours of high winds, rain and mists.
The truck's fuel pump decided today was a good day to die, so it's sitting outside some garage, contemplating Orion or whatever it is that cars and trucks contemplate at night.
The bottom has fallen out of the Yucca Valley residential property market as well, like that of Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties. The locals think they've seen the worst and we don't want to make the ones we talk with think otherwise, by several more years of what's already happened.
