10 Things You Can Do in the Desert
The desert isn’t just something you pass on the way from one urban center to the next, or what’s “out there” beyond the city’s outskirts and compound walls.
The desert can be a playground, or an open-air respite from crowded concrete city blocks and all the neuroses contained within them. The desert can be freedom.
1. Go sand boarding and try to stay standing for as long as you can
2. Go dune bashing and test your off-roading skills
3. Stare out into the universe with all of its billions and billions of galaxies and ponder your own minuscule existence
