The Rhythm of the Desert

Tales from the Backroad Posted on February 25, 2018 by Mary HoneFebruary 23, 2018

The Rhythm of the Desert

We love the desert. They call people like us Desert Rats. If you had asked Al 15 years ago if he liked the desert, you would have gotten an emphatic no. But when we got together 11 years ago I started taking him to the desert of southern Utah, were he quickly fell in love with the landscape, the colors, and the feel of the desert. The rhythm of the desert. Back then we would camp in our truck camper in far away places, enjoying the silence, and breathing the air. Now, we fit the rhythm into a day that involves our work lives too.

Lately we have had high winds, and chilly temps so working outside and carving is not an option for Al. He has been working on some fantastic digital art pieces though. I will share when he gets some completely done. I work on my photos, the blog, the art show promoter stuff. But no matter what, we still go with the rhythm.

Evenings and mornings are all about walking with the dogs, well mostly Torrey. She especially loves, and expects evening walkies. The winds lately have made some cute photos of her.

Arizona sunsets and other great stuff

It’s not all hummingbirds here in the desert, we have been doing other stuff too. I am of course obsessed with Arizona sunsets.

1 day with 2 dogs in Joshua Tree NP

1 day with 2 dogs in Joshua Tree NP

Everyone who is a dog owner bemoans the fact that most national parks are not dog friendly. All parks allow dogs in parking lots, or campgrounds, but not many offer places to hike with your dog. Joshua Tree NP is a real treat for people who want to be able to hike with their dogs, and enjoy a national park.

Before I went to Joshua Tree, I checked the website for their pet policies and was pleased to see that dogs are allowed to walk on any of the dirt roads. There are miles, and miles of dirt roads in the park, that provide a variety of terrain to see.

The standard rules apply, of walking on a leash, and picking up after your dog.
