    Great video with this house amongst a forest of very old thriving Joshua. It seems that they thrive around 3500’-4000’ in the Mojave.
    I ventured south of Searchlight on my way to a rockhounding site and was amazed at the dense Joshua forest there.
    We found an area of pumice, obsidian(apache tears) and geodes. I found one the size of a basketball with many nodules covering the exterior. Evidently, no one had searched that area as it was completely weathered out of the vermiculite that at one time surrounded it.
    Gave it to my buddy for his rock garden and said don’t break it open. The exterior is a work of art.
    That was a great explore!

    If you're just as interested in sounds and voices, try these. There's a mail voice, I did wonder if someone was elsewhere but I think it's within the room, turn volume up with best headfones @7:13 ''why don't you.... ... '' and very plainly @8:09 there's a long low growl ? There are more as you'd expect but these were intriguing.

    Camped there outside the main house on 2/25/2024 -2/26/2024. The building is in poor shape, the secondary buildings are falling apart from the inside out due to roof leaks, ceiling is collapsing, etc. Quite a large house though in its day. There were some mason jars filled with apricots in the cellar that I did not see in your video. The concrete platform at 17:46 had a date of 1980 written into it and some initials.

    I’ve been through that area Cima, Goffs , Landfair, all the way up to Searchlight and surrounding areas …. To say that it’s a little slice of what “ Frontier Settlement life “ looked like , would describe the area perfectly. Hard life indeed to Eek out an existence in those conditions of mid to high desert , minimal resources , and harsh environments( wind , heat , minimal normal rainfall with occasional downpours , etc). Hard times for most who settled there with high hopes & dreams . Thanks for sharing this one . 👍

I went about 18mos ago and the "machine shop" was still standing, returned last April to photograph the shed and it was fallen down. :( also the shed with the mill is in much worse shape and many of the tools that were around previously appear to be missing. Was the guy still living in his van on site here? I camped solo overnight to photograph throughout the night so it was a bit creepy.
