The REAL Desert Dogs, Episode 10: Mutiny at Corn Springs

Andrew Perry, the editor and videographer of the Desert Dog videos, broke his pinky toe in a Muay Thai training accident. Fellow Desert Dog Ben Moreno seizes the opportunity and attempts to wrest control of the Desert Dogs franchise from the steely Muay Thai clinch of Andrew.

Corn Springs is abundant with wildlife and Indian rock art (petroglyphs), the kind of stuff the Desert Dogs usually enjoy.

However, something about the site didn't sit well with the Desert Dogs and they leave for another area four hours away the next day.

Even though it didn't sit well with them, they did find plenty of wildlife: including turkey vultures, snakes, and a jackrabbit.

The petroglyphs were cool, too. It's always comforting to know they are estimated by archaeologists to be approximately 10,000 years old. Why is it comforting? Because we know with certainty that the young Earth creationists are dead wrong.

Most of what we do is NOT acting. It is how we are. We should do more actual acting.

[Thaamazinlazer]

That was some "Beautiful acting". You guys must do a lot of "Beautiful acting" all the time cause thats the way you guys are every time we hang out. I would go but you'd just get a lot of footage of me peeing, slurring my words, and sleeping thats my "Beautiful acting". I only act like a alcoholic all the time. Ben's rebellion was to not wear a shirt in the truck.

Looking at Google Earth, I see an even smaller and more remote dry lake bed about 3.5 miles NNE of the 'Lost Lake' on top of the Black Mountain lava flows at Lat 35 deg 11' 14" N, Lon 117 deg 06' 49" W. Getting to that one would be something.

You guys should try to get to the other Lost Lake in the Owlshead Mtns at the south end of Death Valley NP at 35 deg 45' 06", 116 deg 49' 32". That is one of the most remote places you could find in the Mojave. Check it out on Google Earth.

"I agree that it is an informal name"

I don't mean to be a pedant, but there is actually a government agency called The Board of Geographic Names, which oversees the names that appear on official government maps, i.e. USGS topographic maps. There are specific rules that a name for a feature must meet in order for the name to be official. That said, of course, anyone can call any place or feature any name they like. Usage by local residents establishes a name.

Bill Mann's guide to 50 interesting and mysterious places in the Mojave. plus, if you google the words, with the quotation marks, "Black Mountain Wilderness" "lost lake", you'll see a link that refers to it the same. One of our earlier videos is at the Lost Lake too.  I agree that it is an informal name, however we couldn't find another name for it. It is a fitting name, though.
