Join us as we reminisce about past trips to the Mojave Desert and Boulder City, Nevada.
A couple years back I took a trip and had multiple encounters with desert thunderstorms. The sounds, feelings, and smells the storms produced made an impression with me, and my memories of this particular trip are rich.
I wanted to share some of those cherished memories and locations with you, so that you too may one day chase the Mojave Desert Rain, or perhaps just take a trip on a nice sunny day to seek out the many things there are to do in the desert.
