Dave Taylor is the chief contributor and writer for the site. Dave's stories have always intrigued me, made me laugh, and made me feel like I was right there in the story myself. He's very talented and you really shouldn't miss this section. Five stories now available - more coming!
Dave Taylor has been writing since he was ten, and occasionally selling articles, short stories and at least one book, dating back to the early 1980’s. For the last twenty years people have been telling him he should write for a living. Sadly, at 53, it doesn’t appear to be in the cards. Read More.

This is the best and most comprehensive list of events you'll find anywhere on the web. Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Mexico are all covered here. Do you know what is going on in your town or section of the desert this week? We do!
Ever wonder just exactly where the Sonoran Desert is or maybe the Great Basin Desert or the Mojave, or the Chihuahuan Desert is located, so did we? Other things you'll want to know about the desert can be found here also. If your visiting the desert then you should look here first..
The Lost Lamp Shade Lady Mine -- how did it get that name? We heard about it in 1992. We found it - December of 2009! You won't believe what we found and the still unanswered questions that survived with the contents of the mine. Have you heard about the underground river that runs from Pyramid Lake and ends in the Sea of Cortez? We have a theory, maybe you can help? What about the lost Ancient American people that were gigantic in size. Know where the artifacts where found? Want to help us out here? Then E-mail us.
