"The Land That God Had Forsaken"
In the middle of California's Mojave Desert, there's more than 3-million square miles of desert sand, barren landscape, and scorched earth, known as Death Valley. But despite its extremes there is life there.

MOJAVE DESERT ROAD TRIP
I-40 begins in Barstow & follows some of Route 66 through the Mojave Desert. Along the route is Newberry Springs, most don't take much notice of the 117 sq mile community, at least not until 1988 with the release of the film "Bagdad Cafe". Now, people travel from all over the globe to sit & enjoy a meal at the small, homey Cafe. If you haven't seen the film & you like surreal kinds of comedy, check it out. It's a story of lost people finding themselves. Besides the Bagdad Cafe, there are two other things that came to mind as we traveled down old Route 66, John Steinbecks, "The Grapes of Wrath" - to a short lived TV show called "Route 66"...for all too short a time, I pretend I'm in that Corvette cruising down Route 66 back in her day... Route 66 began in 1926 and was decommissioned in 1985. The 2448 miles of highway, started in Chicago, Illinois & passed through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona & ended almost to the ocean in California. Steinbeck referred to RT 66 as "The Mother Road" in 1930 & the name stuck. In 1960, "Route 66" was a hot TV show filmed on location all over the US, along the course of the famous highway. And then there's Nat King Cole singing "Get Your Kicks On Route 66". I can think of no other road that has been immortalized more - in song & clubs, organizations & even museums. ****************** If you'd really like to experience all that was & is of the Mother Road, check out this site: TOUR ROUTE 66 ON A HARLEY-DAVIDSON - www ...

Pisgah Crater VENT HOLE, Mojave Desert, Southern California, San Bernardino County, July 29, 2011
Approx 2PM PST July 29, 2011. Walking down from the top of the Pisgah Crater, into the Center of the Crater and Viewing the Vent hole. Appears to be lava rock with other minerals on top. Vegetation appears to be dead in the direction of where the Vent hole may have had a plume. Vegetation on the other side of the vent hole is still green. Rocks near the vent hole appear to have been blown out. Hole is deep and warm. There was NO monitoring equipment of any type anywhere around the crater, or surrounding area. Also it appears that the area has not been disturbed by people any time recently. This area was an old rock quarry at some time in the past. There was warmth coming out of the vent hole, however there were no odd smells in the area, and I don't have any specialized equipment to have checked the temps, and I didn't have a GPS to take coordinence.

Project-JK Mojave Desert Black Mountain Wilderness Winter Run
Come visit us at: www.WAYALIFE.com The Black Mountain Wilderness is by far one of our most favorite destinations in the Mojave Desert as it is both beautiful and filled with rich history. During the late 1800's, travelers would pass through the Black Mountains and make an overnight stop at Black Canyon Well on their way to the Panamint Range carrying needed provisions or back to Los Angeles with cargo of valuable silver ore. One of these travelers left his mark on several of the black volcanic rock faces indicating that he was "J. & A. Tillman" and that he was in this area on "Sep 3, 1874 San Francisco Cal". Of course, well before the miners, Native Americans spent a vast amount of time in this area and left a stunning array of petroglyphs into the rock faces and some of which depict a herd of big horn sheep. When we made this particular trip out to the Black Mountain Wilderness, it was soon after a big winter storm and one that left an unusual amount of snow and water behind. While it was very cold out, it was also amazingly beautiful out that day and we made sure to make many stops along the way to take it all in. Our first stop was at the old Black Canyon Well where we looked for one of three famous Tillman signatures and played in the snow. Scouts Cove was our next stop and after checking out the home miners had carved out of a tuffa tower, we spent some time rock hounding for the same fire opals that the Tiffany Jewlery Company had sought after many years before ...

The Mojave Desert Phone Booth
www.deuceofclubs.com/moj/mojave.htm Excerpts from the website..... Recently, I spotted a small dot with the word "telephone" beside it on a map of the Mojave desert, 15 miles from the main interstate in the middle of nowhere. Intrigued, I donned a cheap, brown serape and a pair of wing-tips and headed out to find it in my old jeep. After many hours I do find it (the glass is shot out and the phone book is missing) but it works! Apparently, this booth was put in after WWII for the use of a nearby mine which ceased operations in the 60s; why the local phone company keeps it operational is anybody's guess. A nearby rancher told me that in the 70s they replaced the old rotary style phone with push buttons because the sheep were having trouble dialing. Oh, if you're interested, the number is (619) 733-9969. Let it ring a long time if you want a response. I began calling every day, taping each call. As the line rang, I would state the date & time of the call. Anyone who visited my house since then has been required to call, identifying herself/himself on the tape, saying the date, time, & anything else that occurred to them. I stuck a Post-It® note to my bathroom mirror as a daily reminder: "Did you remember to call the Mojave Desert today?" So far I had half an hour's worth of tape of a ringing line accompanied by miscellaneous/extraneous comments of visitors. (Eg: "It's May the 31st in the middle of nowhere. This is Coppe ringing! So you better pick it up!" Then: "Water ...

Hatching of a Mojave Desert Tortoise
Visit the USGS Multimedia Gallery (gallery.usgs.gov for this video and others. This four minute short movie depicts the hatching of a Mojave Desert Tortoise. This is the continuation of a sixty million year process for this threatened species. One of the surprising moments in the movie is when the hatchling tumbles from its shell and is propped up by its yolk. This is an evolutionary adaptation where the young absorb the yolk over several hours and they then use that nutrition to sustain themselves during the first few months of their lives. This is an especially handy adaptation as the young tortoises hatch in late summer when temperatures can exceed 110 degrees making the search for food especially difficult. The images shown here are part of a larger movie expected to be released by the USGS in November, 2009. That program will depict the USGS research program on the Desert Tortoise and the role of that research in managing desert environments to allow the species to recover and escape the threat of extinction. This movie was produced by the USGS Western Ecological Research Center and USGS Western Region Office of Communications in cooperation with the Las Vegas based Desert Tortoise Conservation Center, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Nevada Department of Wildlife and the San Diego Zoo.

SR-71 LASRE in flight over Mojave Desert - no audio
Courtesy: NASA Dryden Flight Research Center This 39 seconds clip shows the NASA SR-71 LASRE in flight over Mojave Desert. Two SR-71A aircraft were loaned from the US Air Force for use for high-speed, high-altitude research at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California. One of them was later returned to the Air Force. A third SR-71 on loan from the Air Force is an SR-71B used for training but not for flight research. Developed for the US Air Force as reconnaissance aircraft more than 30 years ago, SR-71 aircraft were the world's fastest and highest-flying production aircraft. These aircraft could fly more than 2200 miles per hour (Mach 3+ or more than three times the speed of sound) and at altitudes of over 85000 feet. This operating environment made the aircraft excellent platforms to carry out research and experiments in a variety of areas--aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, thermal protection materials, high-speed and high-temperature instrumentation, atmospheric studies, and sonic-boom characterization. Data from the SR-71 high-speed research program was used to aid designers of future supersonic or hypersonic aircraft and propulsion systems, including a possible high-speed civil transport. The SR-71 program at Dryden was part of the NASA overall high-speed aeronautical research program, and projects involved other NASA research centers, other government agencies, universities, and commercial firms. One of the first major experiments to be flown in ...

Mojave Desert
Desert solitude in Southern California. Mojave Desert is known for its Joshua Trees. "The Mojave Desert is bound in part on the western end by the Tehachapi together with the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges. The mountain boundaries are quite distinct since they have been created by the two largest faults in California: the San Andreas and the Garlock. Its northern and eastern boundaries are less distinct. One way to determine location is by observing the presence of Joshua Trees. The Mojave Desert receives less than 6 inches of rain a year and is generally between 3000 and 6000 feet in elevation. The Mojave Desert also contains the Mojave National Preserve, Joshua Tree National Park and the lowest-hottest place in North America: Death Valley, where the temperature can approach 120F in late July and early August."
