    I traveled through that Joshua Tree forest not to long ago and was amazed by it. I had no idea it was there until I got there.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Год назад

      Yeah, there's little pockets of Joshua Trees all over the place where you don't expect it. 😄

  • @thomasandrews8033
    @thomasandrews8033 6 месяцев назад +1

    And to add to my previous comment, I learned a few years back that there is a distinction between Joshua trees. The ones in Arizona are Eastern and the ones out west in California are Western obviously. The Eastern ones start growing their branches sooner whereas the western ones look more like traditional trees with the branches at the top.

  • @throughthethicket
    @throughthethicket Год назад +2

    Brilliant vid! I really like how you switch between driving footage with narration, drone views etc. The storms and Colorado imagery was very calming, which is a quality your content has generally. Cheers for the hard work exploring and editing.

    • @CactusAtlas

    I really hate to see so much graffiti and trash in some places. people can be so ignorant. the cave was really cool though.

    • @CactusAtlas
      @CactusAtlas  Год назад +1

      Agree. Graffiti just kills the mood of discovery and exploration. It's a shame.

    Glenn / Amy -- sure enjoyed the behind the curtain vlog style here. Also, the low view from the drone over the Mojave desert with the Joshua trees was really amazing. We have driven by there so many times and next time we will stop for sure. Love the mine explore too -- brave of you to do that on your own!

      It was home to Roy Orbison. There is a Roy Orbison Museum there and the big wink sink holes. Small old Texas town. I loved it when I was a kid. It's an old oil field boom town. Interesting place.
