Hello,
I was just reading Lloyd’s blog and watched a video of him talking about his work (and skateboarding). I wanted to share a audio project (and book) I put together on Jackrabbit Homesteading out in the Mojave a few years back. Thought it may be of interest. Anyhow, the website is: https://www.jackrabbithomestead.com/
Enjoy!

“BEYOND THE PROLIFERATION of big box chains, car dealerships, fast food joints, and the nameless sprawl located along California State Highway 62 the desert opens up. Out there, where signs of familiar habitation seem to fade from view, a variance appears in the landscape in the form of small, dusty cabins—mostly abandoned—scattered across the landscape. The majority of the existing shacks, historically found throughout the larger region known as the Morongo Basin, lie east of Twentynine Palms in outlying Wonder Valley. The curious presence of these structures indicates that you are entering one of the remaining communities of “jackrabbit” homesteads left in the American West. The mostly derelict structures located among the occasional inhabited ones are the remaining physical evidence of former occupants who were some of the last to receive land from Uncle Sam for a nominal fee through the Small Tract Act of 1938.…”
anyone familiar with the trailer version of this topic?
