| Here is a location where you can find petrified reed and petrified palm fiber. Go to the source website for more details: http://www.highdesertinsider.com/html/lonebutt.htm | I am unsure if Mojave is really a town. Directions from this source can be outdated. A map can be found on the website source. Here is what it says for directions: "Highway 58 from Mojave cuts across vast, level desert floor interrupted only by the Joshua trees and solitary buttes projecting skyward. At 8 miles east of Mojave, turn right onto a well-traveled dirt road. The highway was once located to the south and you will soon cross what is left of the macadam. Continue to the railroad tracks (1.5 miles), cross the tracks and take right hand road. Continue for .9 mile. Here a road branches right to a spot suitable for camping. Follow main road of Lonely Butte. You can find some root and fiber here. However it is best to stay on the main road for another .5 mile and then turn left onto dirt tracks (toward butte). Take it slow and easy going up dirt tracks about .3 mile. Then walk east across small, dry washes. You should be seeing pieces of reed all around. At the end ofthe dirt tracks is the palm fiber. " |
