Desert Dogs

Desert Dogs The Desert Dog Stomp Club and Desert Dog Troglodytes A November 1981 weekend of Punk Rock and Desert Exploration started it all. Its a bit easier today.

The orginial Desert Cabin, caves and old mine camps were the lure then and now. Then the only way you could be a member was to bottom a 1,250' mine shaft in 29 Palms. The Desert Dogs love to explore off road and undergorund. We tread lightly.

The Desert Dogs are now represented at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas ! , Special thanks to OG club member and amazing drummer Bud Gaugh with his drum kit on display at the new Sublime exhibit.  The Desert Dogs started in 1981 at a Punk Rock show and the rest was history . Back then, the only thing more edgy than the punk scene was being an OC Punk rocker who also drove road warior jeeps exploring caves and abandoned mines . Do you know what bands played that infamous 11/24/1981 show ?

Gen II Desert Dogs , Blake Bassham and Jake Hill discover and then rescue a Desert Tortoise that had fallen down a mine shaft just outside the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park on Saturday. Many desert animals including Tortoise’s use abandoned mines for shelter. The Tortoise wandered into a horizontal tunnel (Adit) and then fell down an interior shaft (Winze). Fortunately the shaft was inclined instead of being vertical and the tortoise appeared uninjured.
