Fair enough.

Google 2021 - Devil's Gulch. Looks like trees to me. Google Maps

Well, maybe. Unless it wasn't everyone's idea to die that day. Or maybe someone changed his or her mind on reflection.

All of the above. Gotta run, though. Have a great night.

Well now thank you. Thank you. I read plenty of publicly available information before posting. The caveat wasn't really in fealty to prior posts, it was to say, "hey, if everyone else already agrees on the point I'm about to make I'm sorry I'm late to the party." I don't sense that's the...

A couple of points strike me as odd. First, who carries a loaded firearm on a dayhike in Joshua Tree? Maybe the security guard thing is the answer, but it's troubling under the circumstances. And the circumstances are, you're lost in the desert and you likely are aware there's a...
