love at first sight… like jet-puffed pillows of roasted toasty tan with the gooey stuff inside… or like warm and welcoming bulging bosoms of favorite aunts waiting with smothering hugs… prickly-heat greeters beckon from diamond-back trails and arid foothills that could flood in a flash, they say past the giant turbines wooing mother nature in fancy dancy twirl stirring inner thoughts of the world for many a desert traveler on this scorching black ribbon trek and is that a mirage or a mini-mart steaming on the horizon Mojave… a fire-breathing wind bakes me to my bones and for just a short while I think… I could call this place home |

oh, lady, you transported me back with this one! Growing up in California meant knowing Mojave, the Tehachapi. My feet warmed just thinking about those blazing lands and hillsides. Good to read you again, Kahlil! |

You transported me to a place that I have never been. I don't think that I could handle the heat, but you make me want to try. Thank you for the mind photograph. A |

I do like tehachapi....stallion springs...the mornings when it is chilly and the air is new day noise.. |

EEK! I forgot about this one, which I rewrote later, and got sick of in the process! You know the ones...they come back to haunt. I did love traveling this area though, it was a delight for the senses. Thanks everyone. |
