Java (Klinefelter)
Coming down the 1.4% grade off the summit of Goffs, this e/b is at the former Santa Fe timetable location of Java...now named Klinefelter. The palm trees, and tamarisk trees are not native to the Mojave desert. The tamarisk trees (Tamaricaceae species) were imported from drier regions of Africa many many moons ago, specifically for their ability to keep dust from blowing past them. Legend has it the palms were planted by a Santa Fe man by the name of Yoakam, who enjoyed beautifying the rather arid Needles sub.
Java (or Klinefelter if you so choose) follows the natural course of Piute wash, as it converges with Crestview wash, and Hacienda wash. Recently, some work has been done by the BNSF to smooth out, and widen the wash, helping to facilitate better storm runoff.
