San Bernardino County history: Mitchell Caverns

Providence Mountains State Recreation Area is a remote Mojave Desert park and the home of the Mitchell Caverns. The caverns are located approximately 100 miles east of Barstow, 60 miles west of Needles, and 16 miles north of Interstate 40 along Essex Road at an altitude of 4,300 feet.
The caverns in the Providence Mountains were a sacred place for the Chemehuevi Indians where a number of tools and fire pits have been found. The caves lie within a thick sequence of marine Permian limestone formed during the Pleistocene epoch. Over time, dripping mineral water left deposits of calcium carbonate that formed stalactites, stalagmites and other cave formations.

Pet of the Week: Zorro
 Click on the image to view the video.
Meet Zorro, a sweet two‑year‑old shepherd mix who is familiar with the commands “sit” and “lay down.” He loves catching treats mid‑air and never says no to a good belly rub.
Zorro gets along wonderfully with his kennelmate, Bear. During playtime, he’ll often roll onto his back and let Bear “win” their wrestling matches. Zorro loves playing fetch, tug-of-war and spending time with people.
New week. New opportunities. Every journey has a beginning.
