This web page is dedicated to all desert rats young and old! The desert has been my home for the last four decades and from those early times I have been a fan of Desert Magazine. The original Desert Magazine had ceased publication in 1985 and from that time forward I always dreamed what it would be like to start a web publication devoted to the deserts of the southwest. The last ten years I had attempted to put as much effort into such a project, but a few deployments with the military, school and a full time job usually took my time. Well- you only live once and with that thought I have decided to devote the rest of my living years on this project. Not much here at the moment- BUT I promise that you will see daily updates !!
