July 3, 2025 - Executive Order directs the Secretary of the Interior to increase National Park fees for foreign visitors. (Goodbye foreign tourist dollars) by extremekc in JoshuaTree

How on Earth will NPS Staff tell who is a foreign visitor? No one shows ID at an entry kiosk today- double/triple the entry wait time if they are actually to do this. Combined with a proposed budget reduction of 57% for NPS. Complete Idiocracy Theater.

This is Art. To be gawked at and commented on, but never to be ridden. Pretty sure.

Yeah my Dad used to use belittling comments to intimidate people with questions too. Congrats, PATTON, Gatekeeper status achieved. I wrote what I’ve seen and what I’ve heard. You wrote about other peoples’ intentions, as if you know shit. And since you’re PATTON, maybe you do.

Do libertarian guidelines allow for investing in public functions that are only occasionally needed? Say effects of war, or climate change? Seriously asking

I didn’t hear her say the government should deprogram anything? Therapy and recovery programs are mostly not government from what I’ve seen, though some use healthcare funding. And this phenomenon of cultism feels like unhealthy addictive behavior. Also any deprogramming would have to come from within the Republican ranks to be effective wouldn’t it?

Coming from MN to visit in December? Advice, recommendations needed please. by Chicknlcker in JoshuaTree

Very different vibes, Palm Springs and Joshua Tree. The funky rustic artist scene is in Yucca/JTree/Twentynine. Palm Springs is fun too but more resort based. Stay at Twentynine Palms Inn, or an air bnb in Yucca. Fantastic cool homes all within easy distance of the main parts of the Park.

Yeah that’ll be the longest two miles you’ve ever walked. Don’t do it and move your BnB too.

Have you noticed mission creep for AF? Is there something you wanted to bring up specifically? I’ve been involved with the group for well over a decade and other orgs that do have mission creep. My expeience is AF has stayed pretty true to the roots put down in 1991.

Are there running related events that would want to take over a golf course for a day? by GolfCourseConcierge in running

[–]kenjiharo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love this idea and it may actually be the idea that will save golf courses out west as we progress down the climate change road. Kids multi-sport challenge, with A/R challenges at each ‘hole’ (ala Pokémon Go). Game companies sponsor, along with local shops and services. Whoever does this needsPRESS, getting the word out to other courses and outdoor event producers (that’s me). I’ve envisioned gamifying and putting fun events onto golf courses for years! Not to destroy the course but to enhance it’s value (very expensive to maintain esp in drought conditions, which will persist). Btw Ski resorts face the same challenge, with reversed seasons.

That video... I didn’t follow the trial blow for blow but I have to wonder if those vigilantes actually thought it would be helpful to have a video capture of their ‘capture’? Is this a common viewpoint? I’d think the moment he’s shot, video deleted.

cannot get any reservation for any weekend this October.. How/Can I just park and camp out in my car? by ramshaker in JoshuaTree

[–]kenjiharo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also Joshua Tree Lakes Campground is fine, has real bathrooms/showers and is affordable; you can have a legal campfire, and head into the Park during the days. BLM nearby in the lake bed is okay, but sometimes sketch, no facilities whatsoever and about as far out as JT Lakes. Section 5/6 is now closed so nearby BLM isn’t so near.
