1. How beautiful the desert is, my dear Adsos Letter! Thanks for these photos...n/t

2. It has beauty, no doubt.

3. Tell me you didn't park there to take that last photo.

[Adsos Letter]

5. I did.

The desert has always had a somewhat liberating effect on me...

4. Wow - Glamis, Ocotillo, Anzo-Boreggo

Looks like you're jamming on I-8 and SR-78.

Was this a trip, or are you from these parts?

Nice B&W pics, btw!

[Adsos Letter]

6. Thanks

We are down here in La Jolla waiting for the birth of our first grandchild, who was due last Sunday. Taking day trips in the meantime.

Drove out to Glamis, then north round Salton Sea, then out through Julian yesterday.

I admit I like to drive.

7. Road trips rock.

Because one can stop anywhere/anytime if something catches the eye. I do enjoy a "drive to nowhere", and do it quite often up here in the Mojave. Just for the heck of it.

8. You rule breaker you.

9. What that sign should say is "No Walking Around Out Here."

This is an OHV area. Lots of sand rails, buggies, quads, etc. tearing around out there, though I managed to keep them out of the frame.

10. I can see how they'd spoil the natural wonder of it all.

12. Initial reaction, yes.

But if you know the area, not so much. The dunes are vast, and only a small area has been set aside for off roading. There are huge expanses of unspoiled beauty, and off roaders respect them.

13. I wasn't being serious.

I would have liked to see photos of the OHV at play.

I am glad most is left untouched though.

Thanks!

14. I knew you were kidding.

[Solly Mack]

15. Only because you know my olive secret.

11. Looks like fun

[Adsos Letter]

18. They looked like they were having fun.

16. You did a great job on these.

I suck at black and white.

[Adsos Letter]

17. Thanks Blue.

Still no granddaughter...

Starting to look like a forced eviction on Sunday.

20. Very nice!

Apparently in late fall the town allows people to drive on the beach here. Yesterday, I had to
pay attention while walking Snowy because a Jeep was coming one way and another SUV
was going the opposite direction. Traffic? On the beach? Really spoils the peacefulness of the
empty beach. In summer the only vehicles allowed are beach patrols or Emergency vehicles.

21. B/W?

But Fall is so colorful. Here's one that fits with the Season



On Edit:
This is actually taken at Nearby Ocotillo Wells and was color enhanced to more aptly represent it's name.

Big Duney hills there as well but lots of other features too.
