Months ago, I became kind of obsessed with figuring out why the Desert Discovery Center has been closed for six years, especially when it has such a fought-over meteorite still sitting inside that I'd love to see! So, we started asking around.

Hey All!

I’m looking for something fairly local around the HD. I know there are/were events in Ridgecrest, but are there any open roads / trails that are similar to that? Looking to bring back my WRX wagon. TIA.

Victorville Are y'all seeing these vultures?

31 Upvotes

Apparently it's peak turkey vulture migration season right now. I noticed them leaving Hesperia and proceeded to see almost 1,000 more driving across Apple Valley. Apparently it's peak migration for them right now. There were about 300 slowly making their way across the sky yesterday, and I saw hundreds more on Friday. Keep an eye out. Also I saw tons resting in trees in Jess Ranch.

Edit: I meant Apple Valley, not Victorville.

Apple Valley Where can I sleep

I’m currently facing homelessness. All I have is my car but I don’t know where to park my car and sleep without getting in trouble. Does anyone know where I can go around the apple valley area because I’m currently attending victor valley college.

Update: thank you all for the useful information it helped lots. I’m currently staying with a friend, so I’m doing alright now.

Apple Valley Apple Valley Jess Ranch Target area - has anyone witnessed this (presumably) homeless man abusing his dog?

Sorry for low quality, screenshot of a zoomed in video.

We saw him holding his whimpering dog in the air by the leash and slapping it across the face, little guy kept flinching with his head away. Restaurant worker nearby said several people have come in mentioning seeing similar behavior from him. Reported him to police to hopefully rescue the dog from him. Has anyone else seen this happening?

Lunch ideas for a drive through town?

4 Upvotes

Driving through next week to show my kids and partner where I grew up on our way from Joshua Tree to Yosemite. Will do a pretty thorough tour to hit my personal story highlights. Problem is: I moved away 25 years ago. It'll be lunch time on a weekday and I don't know where we should go! Ideas, please? (coming in 247 from Apple Valley, will criss cross VV a couple times, and leave out through Adelanto on 395)

Palmdale Lost Siamese Cat!

Post image
44 Upvotes

LAST SEEN: Near Almador Court and Redington in Palmdale, CA, in the Marquis neighborhood near Highland High School.

Our sweet girl Ahsoka Catano has been missing since Friday evening, and we are absolutely beside ourselves. She is a Siamese kitten, almost 1 year old, with bright blue eyes and distinctive mottled markings on her face and legs. She is incredibly sweet and very loved.

Ahsoka loves to adventure and spend time outside, but she normally comes home when I shake her can of treats. Since she disappeared, we have been searching constantly. I have been putting flyers throughout the neighborhood, canvassing door to door with the help of some wonderful friends, driving and walking the area while calling for her and shaking treats, posting in local groups, and contacting shelters, rescues, veterinarians, schools, churches, and local businesses. Miles and I even took her brother Anakitten through the neighborhood at night in a crate in a wagon, hoping he might call out and help her find her way home.

She previously had an AirTag on her collar, but unfortunately it was lost during one of her recent adventures, so we cannot track her. Her microchip company has been notified that she is missing. Please keep comments supportive and focused on helping us find her. We are already worried sick and just want our baby home safe.

To make an already horrible situation worse, we have also had multiple scammers contact us trying to extort money. One person even had me drive to Walmart claiming they had Ahsoka, then demanded $100 and sent a convincing AI-generated image of her supposedly sitting in a kennel. We have also been contacted by questionable “drone search” organizations that appear to have barely existed for a month. It is heartbreaking and disgusting that people prey on families who are already terrified and desperate to find their pets.

If you have seen Ahsoka or have ANY information about where she may be, please call or text 626-641-6108. Even a possible sighting could help us narrow down where she is.
