The El Paso Wilderness
The El Pasos
The El Paso Wilderness lies south of Inyokern, California. For
thousands of years prior to formation of the United States, it was home
to many Indian tribes. We discover (or rediscover) many petroglyphs, and
desert holy man 'Nacho' Perez even finds an arrowhead (not an atl-atl
point), which he put back after we filmed it.
Entomologist Marty Lewis stumbles upon a stink bug (not a stink beetle)
and a desert tarantula stumbles upon him!
Meanwhile, our furry companion Boo Bear recuperates after miles of
hiking.
On the way home, we find out that Los Angeles is on fire! Dustin's
fiance' calls him and says she is worried about him, but it turns out we
should've been more worried about the girls.
Come and watch the fun.

Desert Dog Down!
This time, the Desert Dogs set out to find those elusive mummies they've
heard about in the past (see the first
El Paso episode). But the spirits of the dead
decide to thwart their efforts. Ben, the Desert Dog website's blogger,
fell seriously ill as the Dogs get closer to their rendezvous.
Also in this episode, the Desert Dog's Bug Man Marty Lewis finds a hive
of killer bees, sits right next to them and talks about them too. He
finds another insect, but that will be in the video found at the Desert
Dog website,
www.therealdesertdogs.com.
Archaeological Site Steward Joe Perry runs across numerous artifacts,
even what may be a grave, complete with beads, a broken metate, and
maybe even some bone.
Music used with permission from Petroleum (Warner Music Group, the
owners of Metallica's music, started cracking down on us). We might have
passed the dispute process, because they stopped muting our videos.
Gotta love fair use!

Bury my legs in the El Pasos
This video takes place in the El Pasos, which is actually close to Inyokern,
California.
The Desert Dogs try for their third and final time to find a Paiute
'mummy'. Along the way, they come across some 'tuuwaruugidi', a Kawaiisu
word for 'bad omen'.
Also in this episode, what to do if you forgot your eating utensils,
training dogs to stay away from rattlesnakes, and a shout-out to all the
other desert adventurers out there, like the Dzrt Grls, Panamint
Charlie, Antelope Valley Haunts, and Adventure Space.
