“We continue to focus on opportunities in multi-tenant retail, and these properties fit our disciplined acquisition strategy targeting core retail centers leased to nationally recognized, creditworthy tenants under long-term leases,” said Scott Holmes, vice president of multi-tenant retail acquisitions for Cole. “These are well-located centers in the western United States, with strong demographics, and they serve as primary retail destinations within their respective trade areas.”

The runoff depicted in this video was probably the result of a somewhat high-intensity precipitation event produced by a thunderstorm that occurred some miles (kilometers) away from Koala Road. The runoff may have generated a sheet of water known as ‘overland flow’ which eventually found its way into the nameless channel shown here.

This particular channel flows in a generally northerly direction draining a portion of Baldy Mesa and the sedimentary geomorphic surface known as the Victorville Apron located more than 10 miles (~16 kilometers) to the south of Adelanto. The channel is a tributary to a much larger stream channel called Fremont Wash. Fremont Wash funnels runoff from channels draining the Victorville Apron/Baldy Mesa area as well as east-flowing channels draining the Shadow Mountains located to the northwest of Adelanto. Fremont Wash is a tributary to the allogenic Mojave River – the main stem stream for this part of the Mojave Desert. Fremont Wash flows in a generally northeasterly direction forming a confluence with the Mojave River near the community of Helendale. Helendale is located on old Highway 66 in San Bernardino County, California.

The stream channel shown in this video is just one of thousands of nameless channels in the Mojave Desert in which water flows only when there is sufficient hydrologic input. Though common enough features in desert landscapes around the world, such stream channels may be dry for years or even decades at a time. Streams with such an unprecitable, non-seasonal flow regime are referred to as “ephemeral” streams.

It is common in deserts for the runoff generated by a storm in one area to flow across the desert for great distances (many miles/kilometers) to fill a stream channel in an area where no rain is falling. Such was the case with the runoff shown in this video: No rain was falling in the area where this video was recorded.

At its height, Calico boasted a population of 1,200 people, and over 500 silver mines. The Calico Mining District became one of the richest in California, producing $86 million in silver, $45 million in borax and, of course, gold. Besides the usual ortment of bars, brothels, gambling halls and a few churches, Calico also supported a newspaper, the Calico Print.

During the mid 1890s, the price of silver dropped, and Calico’s silver mines were no longer economically viable. With the end of borax mining in the region in 1907, when borax mining moved to Death Valley, the town became a ghost town.

In 1951, Walter Knott, founder of Knott’s Berry Farm, purchased the town and began restoring it to its original condition referencing old photographs. Though five of the original town buildings exist today, many others were recreated as replicas of their originals on preexisting foundations.

In 1966, Walter Knott donated the town to San Bernardino County, and Calico became a county regional park.

Today, the park operates mine tours, gunfight stunt shows, gold panning, a restaurant, the Calico & Odessa Railroad and a number of general merchandise stores. It is open daily, and requires an entrance fee. During the tours, one may see silver ore so rich that there are gray spots of silver in the rock.

Some believe that Calico is haunted by the spirits of miners. The town was the basis for the “Kenny Rogers and the First Edition” album “The Ballad of Calico”.

Calico is a registered California historic monument, and is one of a number of ghost towns in California (other examples are Drawbridge and Bodie). It is the “official state silver rush ghost town” of California. Here is a video I did on Bodie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3GY53-Tgt0&fmt=18

The song I chose for the video is James Taylor’s great song: “Our Town”.
