>>2778499I love my desert. The Mojave along the Eastern Sierra Nevadas, centered around the city I grew up in (Ridgecrest). To the East are the pinnacles you'd know from countless movies. The northwest has fossil falls--a canyon of smooth black basalt carved into the ground beneath a massive cinder cone you can run down. Red rock canyon with its beautiful cliffs and spires. The old aqueduct like a border wall blocking the canyons. Death valley. That week when all the flowers bloom. The looming mountains covered in snow.
I think I just talked myself into moving home.
