Death Valley has long been one of my favorite National Parks. I returned after the winter storms this year and was amazed yet again. Badwater Basin is a 10cm-deep lake, and wildflowers are blooming everywhere. If you're thinking about going: go.

There are 200 or so known underground cities in Cappadocia, carved into the volcanic tuff. The largest one, Derinkuyu, is 18 stories deep and has 50 ventilation shafts, wells and reservoirs, space for livestock, and rolling stones to seal the tunnels in case of attack. Ancient

The Old Dutch Cleanser Mine. From 1923-1947, twelve workers were employed here and produced 120,000 tons of pumicite. Ore was lowered 475 feet down a rail tramway to loading bins and shipped off to LA. So photogenic!

I received my copy of Resilient Citizens today by @Prep4Disasters. His research on prepping - stemming from his PhD at Cornell and morphing into his emergency preparedness work with the DoD - has always been inspiring. I’ve referenced it more times than I can count. I was deeply

Built in the ’50s with prison labor, the Shoemaker “nuclear escape” tunnels were meant to save Angelenos from atomic attack. Abandoned in the ’60s, they sit musty and flooded—a Cold War road to nowhere reclaimed by nature.

This week on Tenacity - grow your own food! This is arguably our biggest challenge in the Mojave because anything we grow outside gets eaten by other desert dwellers and a greenhouse would scorch our food with the intense sun. Anyone have good ideas here?

We're headed to Tribeca! It was such a pleasure to play a role in the film adaptation of @RobGMacfarlane's book Underland. Director @robpetit and an all-star crew joined me for adventures in the bowels of the American Southwest. So excited to see this! https://t.co/vGr9q4E11d
