While the crowds of the RV and gem shows are long gone, the desert still plays host to the snow birds from the northern states and Canada. A walk in the desert here is like walking on the moon. The ground is a mosaic of burned rocks that fit together tightly to shelter the sand that sits just below the surface. This year in the area where the RVs park we noticed that many have started to decorate the designated spaces much like the areas in the valley to the south. They take up the larger rocks to designate walking and seating areas and sweep the ground clear of all the small rocks that hold in the sand. Stripping the covering of rock is making the already dusty area even more susceptible to blowing sand when the winds kick up. It looks cool but seems a bad idea.
