The Desert is _______.

The Desert is Hot

Annie and I turned a roll of Coolaroo

Koolaroo sun shade, Koolaroo roll


into sheers for our big windows. VERY GOOD IDEA. It makes a difference.


The Desert is Mysterious

I was determined to find some kind of glyph today, and so we did.  It's very hard to find much about the Quartzsite Intaglios online, and the Chamber of Commerce claims no knowledge of them.

I won't insult you by telling you what this is.

Supposedly points directly to the Bouse Fisherman

I think it's pointing toward our campsite.

I took the coordinates in case you wanted them, and then our GPS took The Big Nap.  Maybe there's a reason no one talks about these geoglyphs.

A gust of wind came up and my hat and glasses took off into the restricted area.  So, Annie desecrated an archaeological artifact to retrieve them, and this is why Arizona can't have nice things.

We also wanted to see the petroglyphs and grindstone holes that Barbara wrote about so tantalizingly, but we couldn't find them.  HELP US, BarbaraWan Kenobi!  You're our only hope!
