Strange Experience in the Desert
In 1973 I was out of the army for a couple years and tried marriage for the first time. We didn't have a dime and so in lieu of a honeymoon we went camping in the desert. We drove out to a box canyon near the abandoned railroad depot at Dos Cabezas in the Anza-Borrego, where there is an oasis that draws migratory birds and their binocular-toting devotees.
