Where is she, tonight? It has been a month and ten days since she mailed this postcard from Idyllwild to Joshua Tree. All we can do is hope that the monster did not put an early end to her Pacific Crest Trail adventure, as so often happens in those movies with Reese Witherspoon. Because there’s a real monster in the mountains around San Jacinto Peak, a real monster who murders people & eats their…
We’ve got a couple of classic episodes on the radio in Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley/29 Palms tonight, as we’ve been mailing & otherwise distributing Desert Oracle #10, the latest of our pocket-sized periodicals all about the strange & mysterious desert lands.

That’s right, we posted with IBM Selectric typewriters, hooked up to many wires and various systems, like old What’s His Name pictured above, Joan Didion?
Then we might put in a link or two, something like Maybe not a great time to go on a desert hike. #posting
The ill counsel of a desert place, that would be howl’d out in the desert air … . Night has fallen on the desert, in this spookiest of seasons. Tonight we travel by the power of darkness and disinformation to Archuleta Mesa, in the Jicarilla Apache town of Dulce, New Mexico. We’re going down, beneath the mountain, to see if the reptilian aliens and the gray aliens and the Air Force disinfo…

Hi from Oklahoma! A few years ago I went on an extended solo road trip through SE CA, up through the deserts and zig zagged the Sierras. It was the best. I picked up my 1st copy of DOR & since, your podcast has become the soundtrack of my daily walks. Question: Next time you're in Joshua Tree Saloon, could you please find the artist of the cowboy "5 aces" poker game print by the door? I would be forever indebted to you! Patreon for life! Thanks if you're able. You're my only hope! Terri Sadler
This we shall attempt to do! The saloon is once again open for “inside dining” (day drinking) and we will soon return to our beloved JT bar. The only bar, in fact.
