 The work here is brutal. I find the days are emotionally fraught. It starts well: make coffee, drive to the visitor’s center to fill up the water jugs, then get to work cleaning, sorting, and hauling trash. At a certain point I get very discouraged. Important is to do one fun thing each day. Above was the fun today: attaching all the metal rings we find to the fence (our friend Lynn suggested it).

Love the photo. Back in the days when I had a job with the DoD located at the base in Twenty Nine Palms, we spent most of one summer on a Marine Corps. project, working from 1000 until 0200-0300 the next day, and then, start over, and repeat. Drank more than 2 qts water per day and never had any sweat, it was so dry. Enjoyed the Desert and the critters that came out at night.

AuthorsAnna does most of the writing. Ted does most of the photos. But sometimes we switch. We are repairing a distressed property in 29 Palms, California, and eventually hope to run an artist residency there. |
