    Summer nights in the desert are so great. I’m glad you got to rave out with the fam and see glow in the dark monsters. Your pops is the MVP taking lead on this project in crazy heat. What a stud!
    Campfire horror stories when? Tonight? 😂

    Wow that’s really nice of you. Can’t wait to see it done. Those scorpions I think I would freak out. But then you said they were not poisonous. So maybe not. His dog is adorable. Looks like my Molly May. Like identical. Glad it went better this time!! Looks like you all bonded. I would love to have some chickens. Fresh eggs. Nothing like it. Enjoyed this.

      @CCcastro336 Hey CC! Yeah! It was so crazy to see the scorpions at night. I guess these ones are poisonous but not life-threatening. My brother is a little cray lol picking those up. I wouldn't, haha, and his dog is super cute! She loves to play and give loves. This time around, it has gone a lot better.
      Fresh eggs are the best!

    It’s really badass how your family takes care of each other.
    Takes a special kind of person to rough out the Mojave. From the extremely hot summers to the icy months.
    I look forward to driving through the Mojave & Tejachapi towards Bakersfield whenever the Grapevine is shut down on my trips to Humboldt.
    Look forward to seeing the improvements on the homestead, I know your dad is after all that money he’s putting into it! LOL

      @Maps2sap Yeah, I myself love driving through the Mojave when I drive to Vegas. It's a really fun and interesting trip.
      I'm glad we made it out here for him. He seems really happy and appreciative of all of this.

    What makes the insects glow?

    • @Eldons_Excursions
      @Eldons_Excursions  26 днів тому +1

      What I found on Google 😁
      All scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light, such as an electric black light or natural moonlight. The blue-green glow comes from a substance found in the hyaline layer, a very thin but super tough coating in a part of the scorpion's exoskeleton called the cuticle.

    Your brother should be on that show "Alone." If he can survive in that desert, I bet he would be competitive on that show! Who is the oldest of the brothers? Any sisters?
