Curated by Jillian Sandell and Doug Blanc, Lost & Found asks:

My contribution, another piece from the Waste Wunderkammer, an archive of trash collected and documented over the past 5 years, was found in Joshua Tree in 2016. The remarkably well preserved newspaper supplement from 1970 features a two color advertisement for the Jellystone Campground in Yucca Valley, a Yogi the Bear themed resort. The piece includes a photo of where the document was procured and research into this now defunct part of local history, 34.1468, -116.2999.
