Mysterious concrete slabs- Cajon Pass...

Join me, as I take a closer look at these strange ruins...

Mormon Rocks...

I haven't been able to get out much, due to the rainy weather that we've been experiencing near the Cajon Pass.  So, here is a photo that I shot one year ago, at Mormon Rocks.

Crowder Canyon

Here's some more drone footage from last weekend, in an area that is known as Crowder Canyon.

Imagine coming through this area in a wagon train!

Crowder Canyon - Cajon Pass.

Obviously, this is drone footage.  I went poking around Crowder Canyon yesterday morning, and I re-visited those strange concrete slabs that I've mentioned in previous posts.  More on that later.

Its unknown purpose notwithstanding, one of the pads served as a good launchpad for my DJI Phantom 4.

This video may seem to be erratic- the truth is that I was just fascinated by this part of Crowder Canyon.  It's almost like a little oasis, near the ribbons of concrete and steel that meander through the Cajon Pass.

Beauty in the Cajon Pass...

The Cajon Pass is practically in my back yard.  So, on Easter Sunday, I took a drive up the 15 Freeway, and I exited at Cleghorn Road.  Engaging my four-wheel-drive, I took the dirt trail that parallels the 15 Freeway on the east side of the highway.  The wildflowers were still in bloom, here.

Drone footage: Virginia Dale Mine, near Joshua Tree National Park-short clip.

This was an extremely windy day, so flew low and kept it short.
