Sir, this is a national park, not a portal to the underworld. Photo of a bobcat pretending to be a tree demon at Joshua Tree National Park.

There's a new national park in town and a sign to prove it. @SecretaryBurgum joined park staff to celebrate the designation of Chiricahua National Park in Arizona as America's 64th national park. A new name for one of America's most spectacular landscapes.

Chiricahua National Monument is now a national park! Truly a wonderland. Also lots of strange orange lights floating up & around these mountains after dark. One of our favorite places.
The rocks aren’t the only stars here. There are coatis, too!

It’s Halloweentime in the Mojave & that means tales of madness, chaos, strange rituals in the mountains. A time of social contagion, evil behaviors at the tail end of Age of Dionysus. Will they let the Devil attend the Harvest Festival?? LISTEN NOW.💀

Wait… coatis in the U.S.? Yep! Chiricahua National Monument is home to white-nosed coatis, the curious cousins of the raccoon. These playful foragers dig, climb, chase and explore. Large groups are usually females and young, while adult males go solo.

They're saying the upcoming Desert Oracle Campfire Stories DVD is "kino," what does this mean?

Exceptionally heavy El Niño rains have triggered millions of dormant seeds beneath the soil, transforming vast stretches of one of the world’s driest regions into a spectacular carpet of flowers. 🌸🌸🌸 The Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, has been dramatically transformed following heavy rainfall in northern Chile. Areas that are typically barren and parched are now covered in vibrant violet and white blossoms, a rare natural phenomenon known as the “flowering desert.”🏵️🏵️🏵️

"Desert Rats" issue of @satisfyrunning 's magazine. A desert playlist by Josh Homme is in there, too.
I did a Q&A for this newsprint running magazine called “Possessed.” I hardly ever see newsprint like this anymore, that you can spread out on the table & look at all the weird stuff.

Where I live in the Mojave Desert, there’s a monster called YUCCA MAN, part of the Genius Loci or Sprit of Place. What sort of monsters & spirits haunt the lands where you live?

Hispanic folklore in the Southwest speaks of a ghost called La Llorona: a woman tormented by guilt after murdering her own children. Follow her cries, and she might take you with her. [Medea About to Kill Her Children, Delacroix, 1862]
On a late summer day in Gold Hill, Nevada, a reserve deputy sheriff was patrolling the Old Mill site. There were kids playing down in the creek, in the willows. Watching from above was a 10-foot-tall hairy monster. New episode! 👹

Only hit 72° today in Joshua Tree, 69° in Yucca Valley. It's still summer in the Mojave! YV also got some hurricane-remnant rain showers this afternoon, just beautiful out.
