I’ve lived in the Community of Copper Mountain Mesa in North Joshua Tree since 1993 and have grown to dearly love Desert life. Bringing you news stories from the more remote Communities of the Morongo Basin is my privilege. Is there an incident happening right now in your area? Are there ongoing issues in your neighborhood? Share your Community’s news stories with me at annelies@Z1077fm.com and I’ll do my best to report fairly and clearly.
