Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Cruise at 6;500 level; 270 heading; abeam 99CL (Adelanto); PCAS flashing traffic dead ahead same altitude inbound closing FAST! Made contact of drone directly in my windscreen; hard right bank with forward push of yoke to avoid this traffic. Contacted Joshua approach immediately afterwards; controller said he issued a conflict warning but did not at that time have control of the drone.  I believe that if I had not conducted an evasive maneuver; I would not be writing this report. Approximately 9 months ago in this same area; I was returning home; 11;500 feet cruise; and I noticed a drone in the Edwards airspace parallel with my flight. The drone ascended to my altitude and turned directly to me on a collision course; crossed directly in front of me causing another evasive encounter on my part.  Then as to hide the fact my PCAS unit quit reporting the conflict as if the drone turned off it's transponder. Who is flying these drones? I'm scared.
Pilot took evasive action to avoid a drone near 99CL.
