Here’s what’s up with all those Miley Cyrus Instagram pics taken around the Palm Springs area

Miley Cyrus has been posting a bunch of photos taken around Palm Springs and Joshua Tree to her Instagram lately. Why you ask? Well, some think it could be some sort of tease for a Coachella appearance. Others believe it could be for no reason other than she took a bunch of photos in one day to keep that important #content machine rolling along for a bit. But we at Cactus Hugs know exactly what’s up with all of them, so we have summarized each below.

Here’s Miley attending the annual Windmill Prom held annually in the Whitewater / Desert Hot Springs area.

Here’s Miley testing the limits of the Joshua Tree National Park rangers by doing something that you are really not supposed to do.
