Are there even 29 trees in 29 Palms CA?

[KitchenWitch]

I know I have only driven through there a few times, but damn, seems pretty devoid of any vegetation at all.

[Pierre.Suave]

1. ROFL

There certainly aren't any palm trees...


:P

[KitchenWitch]

2. No doubt

Not even a stinkin' saguaro cactus!

[Tektonik]

3. Who cares, there are Joshua trees there!

Hills and Joshua trees, what else could you want? :D

[KitchenWitch]

4. Truth in advertising...

:D

[Tektonik]

5. The earthquakes must have knocked them over

:o

[KitchenWitch]

6. Yeah, that is probably it!

:D

9. Are there a thousand oaks in Thousand Oaks?

These are the questions that tormented my SoCal childhood.

[KitchenWitch]

10. LOL

Is there even ONE oak in Thousand Oaks? Poison Oak does not count.

[Tikki]

19. Actually, the Thousand Oaks moved to...

the more affluent City of Westlake Village, CA in the 1990's.

11. There are not four oaks in Four Oaks, NC

Now it is just Three Oaks and a Stump :P

[KitchenWitch]

13. But there WERE four oaks at one point.

:D

[kick-ass-bob]

15. There are also no lizards that lick

in Lizards Lick.
:o


I've checked.

12. I've heard there's no bear at all in Big Bear.

But there are some yellow stones in Yellowstone.

[KitchenWitch]

14. I am guessing there are bears up in Big Bear

since we get news reports of bears in people's pools near the foothills.

[Angleae]

16. You don't understand

It 29 PALMS not palm trees. That is the "leaves" on the palm trees at about 5 or 6 per tree you only need about 6 trees.

[KitchenWitch]

20. AAAAH I got it now!

[Richardo]

22. No, that would be 29 Fronds

:crazy:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

17. there was before the Navy

invented naapalm

[XemaSab]

18. The 29 palms

are in a tiny grove behind the Joshua Tree visitor's center. :P

[NV Whino]

21. One of our veterinarians' business is called Twin Oaks

One of the giant oaks succumbed to sudden oak death a few years back. Whoops.

[Initech]

23. The Marines have probably blown the shit out of it.

[Richardo]

24. There's a *Thousand* Palms, too y'know....

Just east of Palm Springs on I-10 as I recall.

25. a family member did some archeaology out there a couple years ago

sent me a pic with some salt cedars (tamarisk)in the background. If there is one of those there is likely to be 1000.

26. Yes, 29, one amputee.
