>>13292970I'm just going to jump in here to say that anyone venturing out into the desert needs to be aware of the fact that they cannot judge distances the same ways they're used to. The lack of vegetation, buildings, vast spaces, and silence of desert areas can be very disorienting to thise who aren't used to it. This can and does get people killed.
I encourage everyone to enjoy the amazing natural beauty of places like the Colorado Plateau, White Sands, and the Mojave. But please be mindful of how easy it is to underestimate distances and how easily one can be disoriented in these places.
