Some people have expressed the opinion that the BLM put up a barrier to protect LV Bear Poppy, that don't exist. This pic was taken shortly after the barrier was originally installed. Before people started totally disregarding it, and going around it. Straight through the cryptobiotic crust.

As the "snowbirds" return to the Mesquite, NV area for the fall/winter, so does their path of destruction...

After enjoying a nice, fairly unvisited Gold Butte during the last few months, (just as the weather starts to get nice) the usual motley crew of snowbirds descends upon Gold Butte and Mesquite, NV like a flock of vultures on a fresh kill. Needless to say, I have some more "Wall of Shame" Photos of the fresh damage that is starting to pop up. Could that just be a coincidence? I highly doubt it. I also have some other good photos and information, related to Gold Butte and the Mojave Desert. These things, as well as a new post, should be up this weekend. Stay tuned....
