Kudzu and I were pretty lazy today. We took several long walks through the scrub, talk to a Park Ranger for a while, and read some of the Preserve literature. When we looked up it was 4:30 and the sun was setting on us.
We learned today the 1.6 million acre, ten-year-old Preserve and the desert it largely encompasses was named for the Mojave tribe of Native Americans. Preserve elevations range from 800 to almost 8,000 feet and encompass many diverse habitats from the Pinyon-Juniper woodland where Zoobley and I have been camping to alkali dry lake beds to towering sand dunes reminiscent of some old World War II movie about North Africa.
