Just saw today that there is a lightning-sparked wildfire in one of our favorite Mojave desert locations which has burned 10s of thousands of acres within the Preserve including most of Cima Dome and the densest Joshua tree forest in the world. For those that have done it, the Mojave Trail runs just south of the fire at this point. There are many special boondocking sites in the vicinity that are now charred.The Teutonia Peak trail has also been burned over.
The fire is currently zero (!) percent contained :-( so no telling how far it will spread. As there are no structures being threatened, already thin fire fighting resources are being allocated to other SoCal locations. And it's really just the beginning of the "normal" wildfire season. 2020 sucks!
