Hiking in the high desert, we see some variation and one constant - life is hard. At 7000 feet, windswept peaks are topped with fractured rocks and twisted trees.
Even down low, wood twists and turns as it attempts to live, forming abstract shapes when it dries and silvers.
There is some life there, though. My hiking buddy met Cousin It in a dry wash.
I am a retired civil engineer. For most of my life, I designed roads and worked to improve their safety. Now it is time for me to explore them. My focus in this blog will be to share where I am and what I am seeing, so that you may share to some extent in my adventure.
