Nevada's sparse outer reaches satisfy my escapist tendencies better than any other Southwestern state... It's quiet out there... the planet's most elemental form...
The effect was caused by dust blowing thru the basin from nearby Kelso Dunes...
Confession: Some of these scenes are actually just across the California state line... not surprising, since many of those Nevada roads stray that way, you know, with the state sharpening to a point at its southern tip....
As far as my "best seller".... well, it is a story shared among friends; a heartfelt memoir more than anything else. If it "connects", so be it. And vice versa... I keep adding pieces to it, slowly...
