      Thanks Diane. I would really love to do that, but after thinking about it, I realize it’s not a good idea. It’s not my property and there would just be too much liability. Hopefully the city will step up and petrol the area a little bit more. 🤞👍

      @ well if you’re ever interested let me know. I know how to go about requesting permission for stuff like that. Wanna bet the land owner doesn’t want the fire hazard from that paper mess? If you’re gave the fire department a heads up, they might see to it that at least that mess is cleaned up.

    I don't know how I haven't found your channel before today, but I'm sure glad I did!
    I live up on Mt. San Jacinto, just above Cabazon, and I can see N. Palm Springs from my house @ 3500 ft. elevation.
    I LOVE Palm Springs! To me, it's the most beautiful city in SoCal. I really, really hope that when LA fire victims rebuild, that they will consider the xeriscaping techniques that are used to beautify homes in PS. Palm Springs also experiences hellish winds from Santa Anas (so do we up here on the mountain, so we have NO landscaping, just goats that eat the fire fuel!). There's good reason why PS has not suffered wildfires as extreme as this recent devastation of LA.
    We live kind of rough up here on the mountain, we live off-grid using 100% solar and wind power. My nearest neighbor is half a mile away, at the site of the horrible 2006 Esperanza Fire tragedy, where five brave firefighters lost their lives battling the Esperanza Fire. My neighbor built a memorial to those men instead of rebuilding his house. Every Oct 26th, the families and friends of the firefighters come to the annual memorial to pay tribute to their (our) heroes.❤‍🔥💔
    In 2013, a fast-moving wildfire broke out up here, and my son and I were not able to evacuate, so we had to shelter in place. The firefighters use the memorial site as a staging area, they meet there 1st, then figure out where they're needed most. I didn't know that, so when I called 911 for help I expected them to say, "Too bad, you're gonna burn!"
    Nope!
    There were 2 engine companies at the memorial, so they came to our property immediately and stayed with us as the fire raged all around our house. I have a fire hydrant and fire hoses, so I was doing my best to soak everything before the flames reached us, but I was losing that battle. It takes a lot of strength to handle those hoses! When I saw those 2 fire engines emerge through that wall of flames to come save us, I literally fell on my knees, crying and thanking God. A sweet young man picked me up and got me to my front door and told me to go inside, STAY inside, and stuff wet towels around doors and windows. I was an emotional wreck!
    That day I got to see our wildland firefighters in action, the most impressive work I've ever witnessed. Now I'm one of those people whom nobody can say _anything_ bad about our firefighters, unless they want my fist in their face! I'm alive today because of Cal Fire's dedicated, highly trained men and women, and that includes the inmate fire crews who do some of the most dangerous work.

      I hate it when scumbags destroy these historical sites.
      I found something very cool years ago while hiking up here, a couple of miles from my house. I live on Mt. San Jacinto, just above Cabazon, and I can see N. Palm Springs from my porch. I'm off-grid, all solar/wind/batteries for our electric.
      There's a stream a couple miles from me that runs almost year-around as it's the run-off from the peak of San Jacinto. Next to this stream, where it widens into a crystal clear pool, is a huge flat boulder with perfectly round holes cut in it, and another boulder that has long grooves cut in it. I found what was a work area for the Cahuilla tribe who lived here for hundreds of years! The holes are for grinding grain and acorns, the long grooves are for sharpening tools. I also found some pottery sherds (which I left where I found them), which confirms this is a native site worthy of preservation. That's why I don't tell people where it is. I know they'd ruin it.
      I would love to tell a native historian about it, because it belongs to the Cahuilla people.
      I moved to California at age 40 from Texas. My only regret was not moving here sooner! I love this place so much. I enjoy learning the history of California through visiting places like this.
      I do not love those creepy humans that destroy historical sites, though.🤬

    When we were kids and lived in Tonopah NV, my brother's and I would go into the old silver mines to explore. It was dangerous but back in the day we just disappeared for the day and back for lunch and dinner! We also explored the old "miner's" grave yard. We were looking for gold in silver mines hahaha silly kids ..😅

There's even some places that won't allow them they are during the daytime they're only allowed there at night I'm hoping that it gets cleaned up and stays that way

    Hi Steve. I don't mean to sound paranoid, but all of that shredded paper could be used as kindling and we have high winds that can blow all over the place and start fires like what happened in Los Angeles. Maybe I'm wrong about this but I think it should be cleaned up. It has no business being there. Little shreds of paper dumped in a windy area have no good business being left like that. Especially if there are people who are homeless taken up in that area. They like to have fires when it's cold. Who can blame them? It's cold at night. I live in Desert Hot Springs and there are fires in the wild there all the time.

    Nice walk! Sad to see a place like that trashed by someone who may be homeless.

    It might take a call to the city so they are aware. They will clean up and once they do it a couple time homeless will move on.
    Im always emotional for the homeless but they are not a tidy people. Even here in western 🇨🇦 they set up tent camps but its just garbage and human waste.
    The city keeps them on the move and they are given time to round up their stuff then the garbage trucks move in to clean it all up.

      The paper was from a paper shredder. Someone probably put a plastic bag full of shredded paper out and someone brought it up to the ruins and maybe was using it as a bed?
