SoCal Desert Location
Who knows of a really great barren location? Jul 27 09 04:27 pm Link With sand? Creosote bushes? What type desert landscape are you looking for? And, how far are you willing to drive? Remember, it's 115 degrees in the desert right now, hotter in the low deserts. If you just want barren, any dirt road outside Victorville will give you barren. If you want sand, go to Pisgah Crater for sand between black volcanic rocks. Or Kelso, for LOADS O' SAND. For rolling hills, drive southeast of Barstow. Jul 27 09 04:30 pm Link Salton Sea is great. And vast. Lunar and surreal But far. 2-3 hours out of L.A. And very very hot this time of year. And smells funny. But so beautiful.
