Deb and I are finally settled in our new home in Valencia, California -- an hour north of Los Angeles. We live in an active adult community adjacent to many hiking trails, camping areas and wildlife. This video is about my first overnight camping trip as a returning California resident, after 50+ years. Our daughter and family live near by.
Red Rock Canyon State Park is 1.5 hours from our home. It is an awesome place to relax and enjoy nature.
* Located on the western edge of the El Paso Mountain range, Native Americans used this area as a trade route for thousands of years
* In the late 1800s, hundreds of miners sifted the sands for gold.
*The area has unique geology and biology; with many interesting minerals, rocks and fossils.
* It is the location for many movies, videos and commercials.
* Many trails and roads provide opportunities for hiking, driving, and serious 4-WD adventures.
* The dark night sky is perfect for star gazing and photography.
Spectacular night sky videos and photos were taken with my GoPro HERO 8 Black, using Nightlapse settings with 30 second frame rate. My iPhone 12 Pro Max with the Stars Full App took the Star Trails Video. My iPhone 12 Pro Max in the night photo setting (30 seconds) took amazing photos of the night sky, cliffs and Joshua trees.
It is easy to hang a hammock when trees are not available. Don't even think about hanging from Joshua trees. Although they resemble trees, these plants are not trees, but a type of Yucca that may easily be damaged or killed by hammock straps. Instead, I set up my hammock between solid objects, such as picnic tables, rocks, car bumpers, etc.
In this video I used a half bridge hammock made by removing cordage from one end of a gathered hammock and replacing it with pole. This makes a very comfortable hammock. See:
