High Desert, California, United States (Google Maps ⧉, OpenStreetMap ⧉)

"I attended a two‐week seminar with eight other people in the high desert of California, in the spring of 1986. Carolyn’s unassuming frame house was located at the foot of desert mountains a mile high."

"I’d driven through eastern sleet to get here, and “unseasonal” snow in the Rockies, and heat like a flat plate in the High Desert."
