So anyone else live in a desert?

I visited a desert once, to hot for me. My parent live out side of Gilbert.


I also did some Army training in the desert, still too damn hot.

I grew up in Las Vegas, the desert can be beautiful, but I was damn tired of it after 20 years of the same scenery.

Still, when I got married last fall, guess where I got married? Back home, outdoors, in the desert http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

I lived in Alamagordo New Mexico, while stationed at Holloman Air Force Base, was really nice. But then again we had Mountains, and White Sands National Park next to us, and we were only about an hour from El Paso, or Las Cruces. Was a great time, and if you like to mountain bike or 4wheel its great fun.

I lived in Yuma Az while stationed at the MCAS there for two years. Mainly worked at the bombing range 40 miles out in the middle of nowhere. I remember many times it would still be 100 degrees at midnight. Still, it wasnt bad.

Hey cool LoA! I was a 12B, before I switched to the Air Force (medic). Were you Com or Cadre? Yuma had some good bike trail.

From summer 1979 to fall 1980 I lived in Yemen, which is a very arid country. We spent some time in the empty quarter too, which is a large dessert separating Yemen from Saudi Arabia. Lots of smugglers there.

Having abandoned my search for truth, I am now looking for a good Fantasy.

Jimbo, I was a 6521 Aviaton Ordnance Munitions Technician, dont know about the com/cadre thing, that must be something new. I was there 1983-84 and part of '81. I know the base is bigger now since El Toro closed

I went to desert once, the place was Death Valley. it was a 23-day hiking trip. ohh my the place was bueatiful, yes bueatiful in a sense. It is not the romantic way of Albert Biersdat's painting, but the bueaty of other side of natual. you know what I mean? it is cruel, deadly, and it is also timeless ageless. behind what you see, it might once was a valley full of greens or a city filled with laughters. i just can feel the work of history whenever I look over the desert, the strong wind blowing and sand floating, and those might just be what had witnessed the history. the winds and the sand are the witnesses of the flow of time, and you are one such a tiny little traveler among the never-stoping time river. it is hard to express the feeling but I hope you understand it http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

and this is a painting of Albert:
