Most likely... Though its a little early for the good stuff to pass on through, lot of unusual types nest in the Joshua Trees and surrounding habitat.
Little background info, Got a biology degree from Univ. of Oregon, love nature, and tried at one time to become an independent birding/nature guide in Southern California.
Last time I was up that way, I saw a red fox (no not Redd Foxx) in broad daylight which was pretty cool.
Might see desert tortoise, tarantula, prob. too early/cold for snakes and for sure coyotes...

They may be young but they definitely are not tuned out ...
Last night my 7 year old informed me she knows what kind of car she's going to buy when she's 16 (and I quote): "an H3 with 4 inch lift".
So I showed her a pic of HummerLV's new ride. She got a big smile and even bigger eyes and asked if he was bringing it.
"Nope."
"Well Daddy, that sucks."
Adult themes seem to fly right past kids but the words have a way of sticking.
We discussed why "sucks" is not an acceptable word for a 7YO. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
We changed it to "that stinks." Even older now, they've still stuck with that.
KID COUNT KID COUNT KID COUNT
It appears we'll have a total of 8 kids along - ranging in ages from 5 to 13! Young Hummer drivers in training.....

I used to live about three blocks from Redd Foxx. I saw him (and Elvis) at Burger King last week.

Probably just as "stupid" a thing to say, but.... anything legal goes. Anything illegal doesn't. K? : K. Nuff said.

Excellent critter collection. Last year we went looking for Bighorn Sheep and their babies in the Sheep Mountains north of Vegas. Never did find any. The kids would go ga-ga if we saw some on this trip.
Off-track tidbit: On one of our trips last year to Central/NO NV we saw a small group of antelope. Them suckas can run!
