Back in April I had BIG plans to go back home to the Mojave Desert, and see the places I didn’t see, back when I lived there. Mojave National Preserve. Sand to Snow National Monument. Desert Trails National Monument. And I wanted to spend a day drinking beer by the pool and hallucinating at a Palm Springs hotel, and seeing DESERT ORACLE live by a campfire.
During this time, when my trip was coming up, COVID-19 was swirling around the globe. Life was confusing. The news was confusing. Airports are dangerous. It’s safe to fly. The National Parks may close down.
