    I really hate to see so much graffiti and trash in some places. people can be so ignorant. the cave was really cool though.

    • @CactusAtlas

      Agree. Graffiti just kills the mood of discovery and exploration. It's a shame.

    And to add to my previous comment, I learned a few years back that there is a distinction between Joshua trees. The ones in Arizona are Eastern and the ones out west in California are Western obviously. The Eastern ones start growing their branches sooner whereas the western ones look more like traditional trees with the branches at the top.

    Glenn / Amy -- sure enjoyed the behind the curtain vlog style here. Also, the low view from the drone over the Mojave desert with the Joshua trees was really amazing. We have driven by there so many times and next time we will stop for sure. Love the mine explore too -- brave of you to do that on your own!
