Do you know where this cabin is?

I've been searching for over a year for this cabin, and this is the only video of it I can find.

All I know is you can see Baker from it. Been scouring google earth and have had no luck. I'd like to spend the 4th there. Can anyone help?

Visiting in May

I'm trying to figure out where to go on vacation in early May... the California desert has been on my bucket list for while, but I'm wondering if this is too late in the season. It also looks like there is a huge range in elevation and terrain throughout the preserve, which I'm not sure what to make of. Based on my experiences in the foothills of the south bay area, May is already pretty hot.

I'll be traveling and sleeping in my truck. I would like to do some day hikes. I would love to do some backpacking, but I'm concerned about water and not sure of a reasonable route. I'm a very experienced backpacker. I've hiked in 95 degree heat before, but the desert would be a new one for me. Haven't carried more than maybe a day's worth of water with me before.

Tell me how reasonable this is or if I will just be miserable.

Offroad conditions this weekend

Was planning to drive through the reserve and do some offroading and camping starting Sunday (coming from the east on my way to the coast, thought I'd detour through the reserve some, dont need to be in LA until Tuesday). I've done plenty of offroading, will be in a Rivian R1T caravan (2 of us), have recovery boards etc....but still not looking to just get stuck or just muddle through.

The weather report looks like a significant rain event Saturday into Sunday, ~0.5" in the reserve. I'm assuming that will lead to mud and just poor conditions I don't want to mess with...Any thoughts on if/when offroad tracks will be passable again?

Panamint City Ghost Town Hike and Tour

Check out this video of our epic 7-hour hike to the old west mining town of Panamint City. If you visit the channel after you can see other videos of the burros we spotted, the native pictographs we found, and the silver mine we explored. Wish we had video of the drive to get there in a front-wheel drive honda Pilot. That was the hardest part.

5 day itinerary with Pup for Nevada/California Deserts/Eastern Sierra. Suggestions?

Based in Reno. Taking a 5 day road trip in a 2wd van. Was thinking of doing the Mojave or Joshua Tree but Jtree sounds like a bummer with a dog. I’m very familiar with most of the Nevada dessert but less with the southwest areas and haven’t spent much time past the Mojave other than driving through. Looking for suggestions on a good itinerary. Love quirky off the beaten path sites, hiking, hot springs, camping and stars. Love exploring with the pup. What would your perfect itinerary be so explore the Nevada desserts and or eastern sierras (below snow)? Thanks so much!

Road Conditions for Bicycle Tour: Amboy to MojaveNP Kelbaker Road South Entrance

Hello,

I am seeing road closures in the area on the SB County site but was wondering if this section is passable via bicycle and if anyone has recently physically seen the conditions and can speak to them. I am doing a long distance bike tour from Joshua Tree to Las Vegas in a week and half and trying to determine if I need to reroute.

Thank you in advance!

Help Needed!

Does anyone know where there is a decent joshua tree forest to photograph? I was thinking somewhere in the preserve or joshua tree national park but I heard the preserve would be better. I'm wanting to photograph some trees to paint on the wall of my incoming baby's nursery for a desert theme. Any info would be appreciated!
