Very much so. We stopped at the top of the canyon for dinner. Ended up leaving about 10p.

And VERY-experienced camera technique!

Though, it seems strange in the vertical aspect.

I am finishing up laying down laminate flooring/baseboard/shoe in my apartment. I started last weekend but because of my "sensitive"neighbors, I am working 11-4pm and it is taking forever.
Also for this project, ran emt and installed 2 ceiling fans, and a Murphy Bed.

Furthest that I have traveled is to The Home Depot.

Hasn't changed much, Sean. Would not take much work for someone to move right in.



Way too crowded at the tunnel though. Took the missus on her first tour. Then moved on pretty quickly.


Tiptoed around this guy in the middle of the road. I hope he survived all the dumb-assed guys racing around. I really wanted to move him off the road for his safety, but I wasn't sure if that would be legal.


Headed over to what I had really come to see, which is the Cudahy Mine, also known as the Old Dutch Cleanser mine. This place is HUGE! And we barely entered what lies below. Need a better equipped team to go deeper.












The wet winter was really good for the Joshua trees. They were most all really loaded with fruit.

Hiya Jimmy!

Thank you for being a Veteran, brotha.

Yeah, busy beaver, lol. I am just trying to make the place a bit nicer for when my future exwife comes over.

Nice pics Bill, I'm kinda surprised the ATV's weren't in the cave and trash everywhere. Was it a hike to get there?

No, drove right up to the entrances. I've now been to two workings locations. Nothing is fenced off. There is evidence that there was once an attempt to fence it, but it is all wide open now. Not bad road either. The trick is finding them.
