Barry Storm Jade Mine
Joshua Tree National Park – Black Eagle Mine Road
About This Video
This DesertUSA video takes you on a rugged 4x4 journey through Black Eagle Mine Road in Joshua Tree National Park, leading to the site of the Storm Jade Mine. The mine is named after Barry Storm, an eccentric prospector, author, and seeker of lost treasures. Storm claimed this site as part of his search for fortune in the Southern California desert. The video highlights stunning desert terrain, abandoned mining relics, and the rough off-road access that draws modern adventurers. If you're interested in desert mining history, hidden claims, or backcountry exploration, this short documentary offers a glimpse into one of the lesser-known legends of the Mojave Desert.
