My husband and his sister talked about this a while back, wishing, of course, that it hadn't just been a pipe dream.<br /><br />Beautiful shots - love the desertscape with or without the little structures.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02971991029290518107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-22939176393880717722012-08-26T01:20:13.666-07:002012-08-26T01:20:13.666-07:00Love these photos!Love these photos!lorikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562276944312915690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-64643828124537093982012-08-25T20:20:21.840-07:002012-08-25T20:20:21.840-07:00Incredible and scary too!

Long way of saying I know about 29 Palms and how desolate that country is! Beautiful though, in its starkly stunning way. What an adventure it would have been indeed, and to live there back in the day, and not in some beautiful, comfy off-grid earthship or strawbale house like populates many a desert these days, but in a little box like the one in your photos! Man, we have gotten SOFT!! :-)<br /><br />That last photo is nothing short of mesmerizing!Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-76201642839628192652012-08-25T00:11:51.197-07:002012-08-25T00:11:51.197-07:00Your photo treatments are riveting.Your photo treatments are riveting.Oakland Daily Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352365270299187377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-79472300907075630102012-08-24T17:58:51.365-07:002012-08-24T17:58:51.365-07:00Wow!

We used to ride trail motorcycles out in the California deserts in the 1970s and 80s so I can honestly say ,It is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there! I did enjoy riding out to the Early Man site and viewing the long abandoned miners cabins,of course the presence of a empty stone cabin meant one had better keep a sharp eye out for tailings or you might ride right in to a big hole or worse an open shaft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-34095384981217090942012-08-23T23:05:54.120-07:002012-08-23T23:05:54.120-07:00Incredibly beautiful pics!
