Going to the Saxsquatch show tomorrow. Wondering if other people will be in costumes? Xoxo

do you guys have any recommendations for campsites in jumbo rocks? I am looking for cool rocks to climb adjacent to the campsite. I also want to be able to park close to the site. thanks!!

Pumped for the new moon, but wondering what the impact will be on the west side of the park.

So we just stopped at the McDonald’s in Yucca Valley (close to JT) before heading into our last day of Coachella, and… wow.

Place was packed (obviously), long line, everyone just waiting their turn like normal humans. There was a group of women sitting behind my husband while he was waiting, and one of them just would not stop complaining about how long her food was taking. Like full-on ranting while her friends were clearly trying to calm her down.

Then she gets up, marches to the counter, SLAMS her order number down, and starts demanding how long her “fish fillet sandwich” is going to take — “two hours? three hours? four hours?” 🙄

But it gets worse.

She starts talking to the employee in the most condescending way possible, slowly over-enunciating every word like he couldn’t understand her. Super disrespectful, super unnecessary, and honestly just gross behavior.

Meanwhile the employees are just trying to keep up with a huge rush of people.

The wild part? They all looked like they had just come from church… which made the whole thing even more ironic.

Like ma’am… it’s a McDonald’s in the middle of a festival weekend. Your Filet-O-Fish is not an emergency.

Shoutout to the employees for dealing with that because I could not. Nobody deserves to be talked to like that over a sandwich.

If you were there, you definitely know exactly who I’m talking about…… and yes I have a video of her. lol

Ok folks, summer is almost here. There are good/bad, large/small and expensive/reasonably priced swamp coolers out there. What are some good options for Yucca Valley?

Anyone have tickets to Saxquatch tomorrow that don't want them for whatever reason, im trying to figure out how I'm going to see this show

Wife and I decided to head to JT for a couple days of our LA vacation. We’re borrowing gear and won’t be prepared for a full two day loop. Instead we plan to piece together short day hikes, leave the gear in the car, then late afternoon head in to the backcountry not much past the 1 mile requirement for a quiet night alone under the stars.

Would appreciate advice on a backcountry parking lot that can be accessed by paved roads, reliably have a parking spot on Thursday night, with a hassle free trail to find a camping spot. We’ll hike back out first thing in the morning for more day hikes the next day, so keeping it simple is more important than quality of the trail, but of course nice views are a bonus. Thanks!
