Joshua Tree National Park and surrounding BLM area

[gpassida]

Back from the trip to Joshua Tree National Park and the Old Dale Mining District on BLM land. Wow! It was fantastic. There are so many abandoned mines to visit. We did maybe 15% of them. Didn't see anybody for the first three days we were exploring the mines on the BLM land. Then we took a 4x4 road into the National Park and camped for two nights there. Took some 4x4 roads out of the Park, refueled and refilled our water containers and came back through from the South on the Berdoo Canyon 4x4 road. Some decent rocks in a few sections. The Scrambler did great, even with the heavy camping loadout with all the water.

Very enjoyable videos thankyou.
It always amazes me how they knew these mine deposits were there, i guess the rewards far outweighed the risk of finding nothing

That looks like a fantastic trip.
Any things you might add to your equipment/supplies for future trips?
