Spirit Mountain - The Native American's believed

this is where your spirit went when you died.

I met a British lady who had spent the previous night
in an authentic Native American teepee.
She was appalled that there was no running water or bathroom.
She said she would be spending the next night in one of the cabins.

Remember the Joshua Tree "Lucy" episode?
Apparently there is a bee that pollinates the Joshua Tree every spring.
Lucy asked that famous question:
"Where would the Joshua Tree be without the Joshua Tree bee?"
