Not this one I know, it was a different color and maybe even older? I use my blog all the time to try to remember something (or to win, or more often lose, an argument with the person who travels with me ). But it is getting so it’s hard to find the old stuff. I need to work on my categories, to narrow things down, but that takes so much time!

I feel like I posted about it before, but don't know for sure. Yes, I think the Joshua Trees are threatened. Rainfall in Joshua Tree is significantly less than it was even 50 years ago. Hard to believe that they were grazing cattle in the high desert just 70-80 years ago.

It's odd you thought you had posted about it before but couldn't find it. Now it makes me wonder what I saw, lol. Perhaps I was just remembering the car forest.

It would be interesting to know how it got there and whether the owner ever had any sense that he would recover it at some point.
