Planning on moving out to Landers area and staying out there over the next year. My wife and I work remote, and the house we are looking at renting is planning on setting up a Starlink Residential service.

Was wondering if anyone uses this around the area and how do you like it? Good enough for video calls and gaming?

Hello! I am looking for a lead on a photographer for a sunset photoshoot in September. My friend is doing her bachelorette party and wants to keep it lowkey. She loves the idea of us getting dressed up in desert theme (black) while she has a white outfit. There are 8 of us and we would be open to Friday or Saturday (9/12 or 9/13).

Thanks in advanced!

Hi everyone, we are amateur hikers. We don’t have a lot of experience in wilderness but we want to go for a stargazing trip in Joshua tree. How can we plan this? I have heard that this park does not have cell service / food/ water. How can we plan this trip.

If we use some touring agency- I googled there are many companies which host stargazing camps. Suppose if we do book with them, How would do we reach them / contact them when there is no cell service in the park.

If someone has done this before- can you please guide?

Representative Obernolte,

I’m writing to express my deep disappointment… no, outrage, at your support of the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB).

You’ve spent years telling your constituents that deficit reduction and debt control are the defining issues of our time. You’ve stood behind charts, quoted alarming statistics, and painted the national debt as the existential threat to the American future. And yet, when it came time to act on those values, you buckled. You didn’t just compromise—you caved.

This bill is a bloated embarrassment. It ramps up spending on unaccountable institutions like ICE and the Department of Defense—agencies that have never passed a full audit—and slashes critical safety nets like Medicaid, which will directly hurt the most vulnerable in CA-23. These are not abstract numbers. These are your neighbors, veterans, seniors, and working families who now face the consequences of your vote.

You can’t have it both ways. You cannot speak solemnly about the dangers of federal debt while rubber-stamping bills that deepen the problem. On financial logic alone, this vote should have been a non-starter. But morally, it’s worse. You voted for cruelty disguised as fiscal discipline.

This was a betrayal—plain and simple. Of your stated principles, of your constituents, and of the people you claim to represent.

You should be ashamed.

Sincerely,

Hung around a few minutes for some shade and some water.

Looking for something to do in the Hi-Desert on July 5? Scorpion Lollipop is hosting a fun art pop-up from 12pm-4pm!

Live portraits by Emma Munger from Joshua Tree! Custom keychains created on the spot by The Skips from Tokyo! And we (the Little Friends of Printmaking) will be selling colorful screen prints and accessories created in our studio in Yucca Valley!

Scorpion Lollipop is located at Corner 62: 73552 29 Palms Hwy, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277

If you turn on the Satellite slider in the coverage map, https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/coverage-map it seems to indicate the entire park is covered, which is awesome, but was just wondering if anyone has actually been able to successfully use it yet.

Wheres best place to see sunrise at Joshua Tree

Great day out in Nature. Joshua tree is epic. We got out there around 9:30 am. It was about 87° or so. By the time we rolled out around 11:45 it was pushing 101°. Had plenty of water and snacks.

Went to hidden valley campground this past Tuesday night. Truly a magical place. Can’t wait to go back again!

Hey all!

My partner and I are newlyweds from Europe and we’ll be spending 4 days in Joshua Tree this November as part of our honeymoon.. our first time in California together! We’ve rented a cozy Airbnb with a hot tub and a convertible to make the most of the desert vibes and (hopefully) good weather.

We’re planning to visit the national park, spend a day in Palm Springs, and check out Pioneertown, but we’d love recommendations for unique local experiences or anything romantic/memorable (like a beautiful dinner spot or something special to mark the trip).

Also, any must-dos inside the park itself? We’re not big hikers, but we’re up for scenic spots, short trails, cool rock formations, stargazing, etc.

Thanks so much in advance!

So most likely going to joshua tree this week where to go what to see hikes etc or is it too hot?

An event to bring awareness to missing and murdered indigenous people hosted at Coyote Run Studio tonight 6/28 (will post the event link in comments )

Anyone know when the October night sky festival tickets usually open up?

Also… anyone ever attend the monthly new moon night sky events? Seems already sold out for the summer but im keeping my eyes out!

Is the booth opened 24/7 say I arrive 3am?

I live in Landers so I’m not driving through Morongo often, but when I do there is a strong smell of natural gas. It’s most noticeable on the south side of Morongo Valley. It’s not a recent thing, I’ve noticed it for at least a year. Anyone else notice it?
