Southwestern Desert, Early Spring

In 5 days, I leave here to return to the wet and cold northwest.  I took a hike of a few hundred yards a few days ago.  From Enterprise, the land drops off into a small ravine.  The sides are at about a 45 degree angle and are made mostly of a mix of sand and gravel.  It is loose enough to make the walking something that requires a bit of care.  The far side of the ravine was my goal - not for any particular reason except to get out, walk a bit and explore.  From there, Enterprise looked very isolated.

At the far top edge of the ravine, I sat and rested, and took a shot of that edge of the ravine, looking toward the lake.

It has been very peaceful and quiet spending the winter here.
