I'm confused by the statement in the Hi Desert Star.
There are multiple cases. You have to pay to search San Bernardino Court Records, so going by what I found on TruthFinder and UniCourt, there are at least 3 recent cases that resulted in Probation/Probation Violations. These do not include the assault case mentioned by the Hi Desert Star. I read somewhere he was still on probation, but I am not able to find it, so I am thinking it is from foreign media or posts. These are the cases I found:

Glamping? Cabin camping? It would make sense with the weather.
While I like your style, everything but the kitchen sink!!! I had an ex who hiked/camped. There was one backpack that contained tent, hammock, sleeping bag, pillow, bed pad, cooking gear, first aid, 2 changes of clothes, water, I could go on and on. It was all so light and compact. The tent and sleeping bag would fit in a grocery bag and could be in the backseat of the extended cab.
My question...FJ told the friend they had already camped at Joshua Tree and were going to camp at the small town in the middle of the desert. They returned to 29 Palms? for the day in between...where did they stay?
