We explore the abandoned Golden Egg mine and Sunset mine just outside of Joshua Tree National Park.
We show you how to get there and how difficult the roads are to get to both of these mines.
The Sunset mine is also known as "The Flag Building" because of the California Flag and United States flag that have been pained on it. The Golden Egg mine is over 75 years old but appears to have been worked in the last 20 years or so.
Coordinates to the locations of the mines shown in the video:
Sunset Mine: 33.991059, -115.696177
Golden Egg Mine: 33.988838, -115.698891
You can copy and paste those coordinates into Google Earth or Google Maps.

After leading a group of 24 Jeeps and Trucks through Joshua Tree and coming out over the Pinto Mountains we did a quick drone-flyover on Gold Crown Road.
Video was shot using a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced.

The giant "C" above Rancho Cucamonga was a welcome sight on the mountains above Rancho Cucamonga from the 1960's until 2002, when the big letter C on the hill became overgrown and virtually vanished. After a rough 2020, one citizen decided to get the year 2021 off to a good start be restoring the C.
There is some debate over if the C stands for Chaffey or Cucamonga so if you know the history of the C and what it stands for, please leave a comment below.
Filmed all 'hand-held' with a Lumix GH5 using Leica SUMMILUX 25MM F1.7 and Sigma 16mm F1.4 lenses. Color profile "Natural" with a mild color-grade. Color matching was difficult because the video was shot over two days with wildly different weather and lighting.

Minor correction: The KG-916 stores 400 channels, not 800.
The new Wouxun KG-916 GMRS HT walkie talkie is now available! In this review of the KG916 I show you how well this radio works, how far it can transmit, I test the power, and I once again prove that most of the online "experts" are idiots that should be ignored.
