    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  Před rokem +1

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

    G.I. Joe? Damn haven't thought of that in a while. Used to watch the cartoons as a kid. "Flint" was one of my favorite characters. 👍

    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.

    Love these loosey goosey ride along trips. Those storms were magnificent.

    • @CactusAtlas

      I like them too! Less to rehearse, and sometimes nature does all the work for me!

  • @throughthethicket
    @throughthethicket Před 11 měsíci +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.

    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

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

      Side note: when my son was little we took him through Joshua tree and I pointed to a mine and said “Look, a mine!” He said, “That’s yours?” 😊

    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!

    • @CactusAtlas

      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.
