adams rsvg art atkinson og chatting with mary biehn 5 after our stay in los angeles we were las ve gas bound by bus just outside the city we t drove thru fertile land the broad highway climbing stead ily past fruit and vegetable farms il we reached the mountains the road wound up and arounur- the rounded jjjjjpcaks which were part of the vcalico mountain range covered avith parchedlooking brown grass and sparse shrubs they formel a fitting portal to the jrjftet desert which lay just bey- 9 nd wo we had travelled thru desert before en route to the coast but it was at night now we had a good chance to see it in bright sunshine strangelooking cac- sti grew by the roadside some- times the monotony of the tcrr attain was broken by twisted btuntedlooking trees that seem- j d like a ispecics of pine they t werc joshua trees this is the only area in the wprld out 2side the holy land where they vill grow there was no signs of human habitation visible and jjio wonder in the distance jg like claycoloured cardboard cutouts against the cloudless sky were the jagged soda and shado mountain ranges the desert higr ay passed between their barren peaks still no signs of life of any kind there jjivhs so much of the wilderness such a width aiw a breadth and at times height that it had a sort of magnificence it all looked so alien to my eyes that i couldnt stop peering o the window how- 2iver by the time we arrived at las vegas we had been on the road four hours and i was glad of the change really hot a pretty sfght no matter how many jackpots they get they keep feeding the mon ey back in until time or mon ey runs out theres a surface air of gah cty about las vegas generated by the richly dressed crowds excitement of night clubs with big name entertainers good restauaants bright lights and noise of the crankirjg slot ma chines but theres something sad and sinister about it too occasionally this surfaces like when i saw a woman weep ing as her husband led her away from the gaming tables a mans hand shaking so badly he could hardily light a cigarette as he played baccarat and an elderly man sitting on the stps at the entrance of the plush taj mahal the picture of despair with hi head in his hands a it was a good thing for our pocket books that the tour had arranged some other diversions for us while we were there such as a trip out to the gigantic hoover dam how the poor parched country needs that dam a stun ning sight and an engineering feat 726 fcct high it creates llomilc long lake mead it is situated in the midst of the sunset mountains so named because of the beautiful hues tthc setting sun gives their jagged multicoloured clay peaks i could hardly helicvo they were hard rock until i went up and actually poked at them theyre hard all right actually the tailnd of the high sierras they lead into death valley kn route to the dam a dried up lake bed was pointed out to us when they have one of empty bed fills up and is populated with tiny prehistoric fish that have never been seen anywhere else in the world scientists have tried keeping specimens alive in labs and mus eums but to no avail when the lake dries up again the fish disappear inlj the earth with the water until the next big rain 0 honestly that coun try is so wildly desolate to our eyes we couldnt ima gine anyone liking to live there we chatted about this to a se curity officer at the dam he lives in las vegas and loves it he says and we believe it were because what we saw was a solid three blocks of gamb ling casinos filled with sjot machines and with overhead flashing neon
