Salt Spring Hills

The Salt Spring Hills are a low mountain range in the Mojave Desert, in northern San Bernardino County, California. They are just outside the southeastern corner of Death Valley National Park, southeast of the Saddle Peak Hills. The road between Shoshone and Baker passes through the hills. History From 1831 to 1848, the Old Spanish Trail passed from Salt Spring on Salt Creek east of the Salt Spring Hills near its confluence with the Amargosa River through the hills near Amargosa Spring. In 1849, when Jefferson Hunt led a Mormon party of several wagons along the Old Spanish Trail to Los Angeles, they camped at Salt Spring east of the Salt Spring Hills. Some of the party discovered gold in the creek and traced it to a quartz vein in the nearby hills near Amargosa Spring. The Salt Spring Hills were named for Salt Spring, on the Mormon Road that passed just west of the hills, where the gold was first found. This discovery which became known once the party reached the Rancho Santa Ana del Chino, set off the first gold rush in the Mojave Desert. Several mining companies attempted to mine in the hills from the early 1850s. Mrs. Rousseau and her doctor husband traveled the Mohave Desert in the final months of 1864 with a wagon train from Utah bound for San Bernardino. That train passed the Salt Spring Hills, where Mrs. Rousseau mentioned in her diary, dated December 4, that there were four houses and a quartz mill there, and that three men who had been serving as caretakers for a mine located there had been killed by Indians eight weeks earlier.

Chateau Marmont

Lo Chateau Marmont è un albergo di Los Angeles situato al numero 8221 di Sunset Boulevard nella zona di West Hollywood. Storia Costruito nel 1929, è vagamente ispirato al castello di Amboise in Francia. Nel 1968 Jim Morrison, al termine di una festa, cadde da uno dei balconi della camera da lui occupata, riportando varie contusioni, ma senza fratture significative. Nel 1982 l'attore John Belushi venne trovato morto in una camera di questo albergo. Nell'albergo è stato girato l'episodio del film Four Rooms diretto e interpretato da Quentin Tarantino. L'albergo viene usato come ambientazione nel libro La caduta di Michael Connelly. In esso si fa specifico riferimento alla morte di John Belushi in uno dei bungalow dell'hotel. L'albergo viene citato anche dalla scrittrice e biografa statunitense Coco Mellors nel suo primo successo editoriale, il best seller Cleopatra e Frankenstein del 2022. Vi è ambientato anche il film di Sofia Coppola Somewhere (2010), il cui protagonista abita proprio nell'albergo. L'hotel compare anche nei film La La Land (2016) e A Star Is Born (2018). È citato nella canzone Chateau del duo musicale Angus & Julia Stone. Lana Del Rey lo cita nella sua canzone Off to the Races.

Samuel Kraemer Building

The Samuel Kraemer Building, in Anaheim, California, United States, was built in 1924-1925 by Samuel Kraemer. It was the first high-rise building in Orange County. Samuel Kraemer 'made a fortune' from oil being discovered on his land. Kraemer invested his wealth in developing much of downtown Anaheim during the 1920s, including this six-story building for the American Savings Bank of Anaheim. The rich use of Gladding-McBean tile on the entire south and west facades arguably made it the most outstanding building in North Orange County when it was built. Designed by local architect M. Eugene Durfee, the building was the tallest in Orange County. It remained so for over four decades. The building once was the headquarters of El Camino Savings and Loan. The Samuel Kraemer Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It was noted to be "an excellent example of Renaissance Revival architecture", and to be one of few buildings surviving in Anaheim that featured extensive use of terra cotta glazed tiles.

San Bernardino National Forest

Der San Bernardino National Forest ist ein US-amerikanischer Nationalforst, der in den beiden Counties Riverside County und San Bernardino County im Süden Kaliforniens liegt. Er hat eine Gesamtfläche von über 3333 Quadratkilometern. Er besteht zum größten Teil aus zwei Gebirgsgruppen, den San Bernardino Mountains im Norden als südlichster Teil der Transverse-Ranges-Bergkette sowie den San Jacinto Mountains und den Santa Rosa Mountains im Süden als nördlichste Teile der Peninsular-Ranges-Bergkette. Die Höhe des Geländes schwankt zwischen 600 und 2500 Metern. Östlich grenzt das Sand to Snow National Monument an. Neben einem Hauptquartier in San Bernardino gibt es Büros für einzelne Distrikte in Fontana, Idyllwild und Skyforest. Geographie Nach Einschätzung der wissenschaftlichen Behörde United States Geological Survey wird der Nationalforst in zwei große Areale eingeteilt; das südliche sowie das nördliche Areal. Am westlichen Ende des Nationalforsts schließt sich der Angeles National Forest an. Die westliche Grenze verläuft knapp 16 Kilometer von der Interstate 15 entfernt. Die größte Nord-West-Ausdehnung im nördlichen Teil beläuft sich auf etwa 90 Kilometer, die Nord-Süd-Ausdehnung dieses Teils ist etwa 40 Kilometer lang. In diesem Teil des Forstes befinden sich die San Bernardino Mountains. Das Gebiet dehnt sich westlich von Mount San Antonio sowie der Gemeinde Wrightwood aus. Im Süden grenzt der nördliche Teil an das Reservat der Cahuilla-Indianer nördlich der Ortschaft Cabazon. Der etwa kleinere südliche Teil des Nationalforsts misst etwa 40 Kilometer in der Nord-Süd-Ausdehnung sowie 50 Kilometer in der Ost-West-Ausdehnung. Der 2657 Meter hohe Toro Peak sowie das Reservat der Santa Rosa-Kolonne der Cahuilla-Indianer befinden sich im Süden dieses Bereiches. Die Ortschaft Idyllwild-Pine Cove ist hier gelegen und vom Gebiet des Forstes umgeben. In dem Nationalforst befinden sich darüber hinaus die Bonita Falls, ein Wasserfall, sowie eine Forschungsstation der University of California. Zudem verfügt der Forst über acht sogenannte Totalreservate, also Gebiete, die vor menschlichen Eingriffen geschützt und weitgehend der natürlichen Entwicklung überlassen werden. Sie sind Teil der staatlichen Naturschutzgebietsklasse Wilderness Area. Zwei dieser Totalreservate liegen zusätzlich im Gebiet des Angeles National Forest. Darüber hinaus befindet sich der Big Bear Lake im Nationalforst. Vegetation Die Berglandschaften des Nationalforsts sind von vielen verschiedenen Baumarten durchzogen, vor allem aus der Klasse der Coniferopsida. So sind hier Gelb-Kiefern, Jeffrey-Kiefern, Zucker-Kiefern, Coulter-Kiefern, Küsten-Kiefern, Einblättrige Kiefern sowie Kiefern der Art Pinus attenuata vorzufinden. Auch die Kolorado-Tanne, die Weihrauchzedern oder der Westamerikanische Wacholder wachsen hier, ebenso wie die Eichenart Quercus chrysolepis, die Kalifornische Schwarzeiche oder der Nuttalls Blüten-Hartriegel. Über 350 Quadratkilometer des Forstes gelten als Primärwald, also einer von Menschen bis heute (wahrscheinlich) unbeeinflussten Waldfläche.

San Diego Botanic Garden

San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) is a botanical garden in Encinitas, California. It displays more than 5,000 plant species and varieties and has 15 gardens that represent different regions of the world, 12 demonstration gardens, and the largest public bamboo collection in North America. The garden sits on 37 acres (15 ha) of land. Until 1957, the gardens were the private estate of Ruth Baird Larabee, at which time she donated her house and grounds to the County of San Diego. The Quail Botanical Gardens Foundation was established in 1961. In March 1970, it opened as Quail Botanic Gardens. In 2009, the name was changed to San Diego Botanic Garden. Selected plants Plant varieties include fuchsias, hibiscus, bamboos, proteas, cacti and succulents, as well as other drought-resistant plants including Australian shrubs. Herbs, water plants, wildflowers, perennials, brugmansias, cork oaks, and palms are also featured. One such plant is the corpse flower, which bloomed in July 2023, for the first time in two years. The plant stands at around four feet tall, and in order to see it, guests must reserve a viewing time in advance, as it is only in bloom for a few days. One identifying feature of a corpse flower is its strong smell, which has been compared to rotting flesh. The flowers are classified as endangered, and botanic gardens around the United States are working to preserve them. Of particular interest is the maturing cork oak (Quercus suber) forest. Paths wind through a cluster of twisted and majestic Cork Oaks. Cork Oaks groves in other parts of the world are still harvested for their cork (bark) that is used in for corks placed in wine bottles, as well as for purses, jewelry and wallets.
