Mojave: the most diverse desert

We passed through the Mojave National Preserve today on our way to Goodsprings, Nevada.  The preserve, at 1.6 million acres, is just a small part of the Mojave Deser.  Hundreds of different plants and animals, basins, mountains, ancient cultures and modern man, create the most diverse of America’s four deserts.  Needless to say, this is a special place for us.

We hope to explore more of the Mojave around Goodsprings this week before our show at the Pioneer Saloon this weekend.

Columbus Day helps make this a long weekend for many.  What better way to celebrate the spirit of adventure and discovery than to get out and explore.  Hope to see you there.
