Nashville to Chloride

From the wide open road through Virginia and Tennessee there was the fun and music in Nashville and a flight away  was Las Vegas and a long wait for our luggage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friends offered a great oriental meal on the way  to the Mojave Desert which I supposed would bring quiet and peace and relaxation. Of course repairs have to be undertaken since after a harsh winter the water pipes are broken, the bushes and shrub stand high and there is the meeting of old neighbors and friends and meeting new folks who just stop by, drop in and chat. The stories of peoples lives unfold, their courage and resilience shines through. Their warmth and willingness to share is overwhelming because it speaks of trust. The desert itself unfolds a hidden beauty, fascinating in its sparseness, rich in its teachings of survival... for humans and beast. The hare is an art lover looking at a statue of Bob Stordahl.
