Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
Recorded April 8, 2017
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in Palm Springs, California, is the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world. It was opened in September 1963 as a way of getting from the floor of the Coachella Valley to relatively near the top of San Jacinto Peak and was constructed in rugged Chino Canyon. The twelve-and-a-half minute ride begins at the Valley Station at 2,643 feet and passes up North America's sheerest mountain face through five life zones on its way to the Mountain Station at 8,516 feet. Travelers start in the Sonoran Desert and arrive at an alpine forest. Passengers disembark at the Mountain Station in the alpine wilderness of Long Valley and Mount San Jacinto State Park. The air can be as much as 40 °F cooler at the top than in the desert.

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway ride, view of Palm Springs from San Jacinto Peak and San Jacinto National Park in Palm Springs, California, USA during our trip on Aug. 13, 2011. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway takes people up the sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon during the two-and-one-half mile breathtaking journey to a pristine wilderness. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is the world's largest rotating tramcar.
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway was opened in September 1963 as a way of getting from the floor of the Coachella Valley to near the top of San Jacinto Peak and was constructed in rugged Chino Canyon. Before its construction, the only way to the top of the mountain was to hike for several hours from Idyllwild.
The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is located in the rugged Chino Canyon on the north edge of Palm Springs and is about two hours by car from Los Angeles and San Diego.
Since the attraction's opening in September 1963, over 12 million people have been safely transported by the Tramway into the majestic mountains overlooking the Coachella Valley.
The 12-and-and-a-half minute ride begins at the Valley Station at 2,643 ft (806 m) and passes up North America's sheerest mountain face through five life zones on its way to the Mountain Station at 8,516 ft (2,596 m) above mean sea level. Travelers start in the Sonoran Desert and arrive at an alpine forest.
The floor of the 18 ft (5.5 m) diameter aerial tram-cars rotates constantly, making two complete revolutions throughout the duration of the journey so that the passengers can see in all directions without moving. With a maximum capacity of 80 passengers it is the largest of the three rotating aerial trams in the world. The other Rotair aerial trams are located in Cape Town, South Africa and Titlis, Switzerland.
Passengers disembark at the Mountain Station in the alpine wilderness of Long Valley and Mount San Jacinto State Park. The air can be as much as 40 °F or 22 °C degrees cooler at the top than in the desert. Visitors can walk along nature trails, take a burro ride or even play in the snow during the winter months. Back-country hiking can be done with a permit from the U.S. Forest Service. There are two restaurants at the summit, one of which specializes in fine dining. Both stations have gift shops specializing in Aerial Tramway-related merchandise as well as educational toys. A video presentation of the history of the attraction plays continuously in a theater at the Mountain Station. It was produced by Palm Springs television station KESQ-TV with voiceovers provided by Palm Springs radio personalities.
The view at the top can stretch northward for more than 200 mi (320 km) on a clear day, all the way to Mount Charleston north of Las Vegas, Nevada. Views to the east and west can stretch as far as 75 mi (121 km). California's Salton Sea is plainly visible to the southeast.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Elevations range from 2,000 to 11,499 feet (600 to 3505 m). The forest includes seven wilderness areas: San Gorgonio, Cucamonga, San Jacinto, South Fork San Jacinto, Santa Rosa, Cahuilla Mountain and Bighorn Mountain. Forest headquarters are located in the city of San Bernardino. There are district offices in Lytle Creek, Idyllwild, and Fawnskin.

Tahquitz Peak - Hike to the Summit - Devil's Slide and Pacific Crest Trail
Tahquitz Peak (or simply Tahquitz) is a granite, 8,846-foot-tall (2,696 m) rock formation located on the high western slope of the San Jacinto mountain range in Riverside County, Southern California, United States, above the mountain town of Idyllwild. Tahquitz has a steep approach hike (approximately 800-foot elevation gain in a half mile), leading to a roughly 1000-foot face. Tahquitz, which can refer to both the rock outcrop and the outcrop's parent peak, is a popular hiking destination to the fire lookout station and the rock climbing area.
This hike was made in September 2016, along the route up the Devil's Slide trail to Saddle Junction and along the Pacific Crest Trail.

08/09/2016 07:55 PM 0:45 _027 Recorder, Going To Sleep
1) I awoke as the sun was rising it was exactly six am, the time I said to the French woman cop in my dream when she asked what time it is just before I awoke. Did she know I was recording my dreams and if so must be pointing out the connection. This is not the first time I have a direct connection between my sleep consciousness and what I am calling for now my awake consciousness, I can come up with many connections in passage from my sleep consciousness to my awake consciousness which seems to transition at different rates for different senses. Vision and audio seems to be the fastest to change followed by smell but sensations related to the body in general have lasted many months as in the very intense time I was stabbed in my back while sleeping outside my home on Hoopa in Yucca Valley.
2) Being stabbed in the right kidney if that is what had happened that night is not what one does to kill someone instantly it is a slow and painful death as if the force that was responsible knew what the French Woman Cop knew and possibly more that resonates with other concepts in this bigger situation of mine like that I don't die as I have said many times before. I'm not quite ready yet to consciously test this theory but in my dreams I am killed or commit suicide constantly.
3) To put me in a situation of extreme pain as I was in leading up to and well after that sleep stabbing of my right kidney could be a great device of intimidation and punishment for my publicly talking about what I talk about and was talking about very loudly at the time. My guess is that I am far from the only one. How else could these pieces of shit convince good people to isolate a good person like me in this way which I'm much more than merely isolated. I could come up with a few concepts regarding that question, but not now.
4) I'm not interested in writing a fucking novel, I'm not interested in poetry or songs, what I am talking about here is actually my experience and I am attempting to be as clear and factual as I possibly can. I can come up with many explanations for these connections I find between different states of consciousness that are normally considered as, ridiculous, insane, mystical, coincidental, synchronistic or a thousand other new age and psychological bullshit concepts and I have been, however after many thoughtful years on this subject what I am speaking about is difficult to deny.
5) Besides, very few if any, whether or not considered as experts, know or will publicly admit that the Earth is flat. I have just been up to eleven thousand feet, I know the math well, I know what a sphere with a circumference of Twenty Five Thousand miles would look like from eleven thousand feet and I can easily see that the ground we stand on is relatively level. I have many photographs showing this but have you ever heard of “Sea Spherical” ? I don't think so but you have heard of Sea level. This is the kind of logic we deal with in our sanctioned reality. I can run on with this but will save it.
Sand to Snow National Monument
The Sand to Snow National Monument encompasses 154,000 acres, including more than 100,000 acres of already congressionally-designated Wilderness. The protected area preserves a tract of land between Joshua Tree National Park and the San Bernardino National Forest. The preserve extends from the Sonoran Desert floor to the summit of Mount San Gorgonio, Southern California's tallest alpine peak. “Sand to Snow National Monument is an ecological and cultural treasure and one of the most biodiverse areas in southern California, supporting more than 240 species of birds and twelve threatened and endangered wildlife species.” (White House Press Release)
Mule deer, mountain lions and black bears are among the larger mammals that roam this region. The headwaters of the Santa Ana and Whitewater Rivers and 30 miles of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail are also located within the monument. Outdoor recreation opportunities are abundant, including more than 100 miles of hiking trails, hunting opportunities, camping, horseback riding, photography, skiing and wildlife viewing. Some highlights include the beautiful Whitewater Canyon which is an important wildlife corridor connecting the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains. Big Morongo Canyon is also included and has been designated a Preserve and Area of Critical Environmental Concern by the Bureau of Land Management. The rugged area of untamed terrain features incredible biodiversity and is one of the places where the Mojave Desert and Colorado Desert meet. More information at:
