Dante’s View
Our Death Valley adventures begin with our first stop being Dante’s View for Sunrise.
We spent 5 days in the area and that means I have a ton of content to begin sharing with all of you.
This marks the first post of many outlining out time in Death Valley National Park, the Hottest, Driest place in North America.
Hole In The Wall
Today’s post including the photos and video within come to you from the Hole in the Wall Campground near the center of the Mojave National Preserve.
Gratitude
I believe that gratitude is the killer of stress and worry.
Yet, it sure is easy for me to lose track of those things for which I can and should be grateful.
Today I’d like to share with you a few thought patterns I’ve been having along with a video and an image revolving around this very topic.
Teddy Bears
Today was a great time in the Cholla Cactus Garden inside Joshua Tree National Park.
These little buggers are extremely photographic, but boy, they can also be quite dangerous. Check out the gallery included with this post to see some of the wonderful photographs we captured on our journey.
Joshua Tree
We are spending a bit of time in Joshua Tree National Park so I just had to do some photography.
In today’s post, I’ll rant a little bit about Tree Huggers and will also share some epic photos from our past few days with you.
The Wildflower Hunt
If God so cares for the wildflowers…
Jesus’ words about worry are linked to the flowers. This adventure into the desert in search of the spring wildflowers has been very eye opening. I have been to many desert sin search of wildflowers but have never seen anything quite like what we witnessed at the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park last week. I wanted to not only share with you some of the photos I have taken while there, but also provide for you the video we produced and posted to our Youtube channel. You will find them all in this post.
Staying At the Salton Sea
Our time as workcampers has come to an end. We have left the Salton Sea area and begin our trek north through the deserts in pursuit of epic wildflower displays. Here are some photos from my time in the Salton Sea area.
Sin Blinds Us
We recently visited a hellscape in southern California called Slab city. A dark place inhabited seemingly by destitute drug addicts.
While we have little conclusive proof that all 160 or so “residents” were Meth heads, it surely was a “dark” place in which you could feel the evil all around.
Drugs seemed to be the currency of choice here and it was a dirty, chaotic mess of a place. It gave me cause to think on how people get to a place they would want to and feel comfortable calling this place “home”.
Snaggletooth
The Snaggletooth Wilderness area hosts a BLM Primitive camp ground. We chose to stop here on our way south from the Valley of Fire area in Nevada to our final destination at the Glamis North RV park in Niland California. I’ll share my thoughts and a few photos with you from along the way.
A Drone Rescue
It was frustrating day.
A day I anticipated with great eagerness. The opportunity to finally fly my DJI Avata FPV drone through a close walled canyon. Something I’ve longed to do for some time.
After a long ride through a very bumpy, dusty, dry terrain, we made it. I launched the Avata, began my flight, and almost as soon as I began the flight, it ended. Crashed into a bush…of all places, on top of the mountain. Read on to learn the story.
