More of a travelogue of the Greater Palm Springs area than a geology trip. In those days, Palm Springs, itself, barely existed when you come to think of it. So I doubt he was there spending time hangin' out in the buff at a gated resort when he took these shots. Nice shots of a gas well fire. 95 years later, I wonder if it is still burning. Interesting scenes and worth watching but the title isn't quite right.
