The Secret of Mojave's Dusty Diary - Paperback

by Ken Knox (Author)

The Mojave Desert is a complex place. Seemingly empty with sand, rocks, and creosote bushes, there is so much hidden life. Jackrabbits, coyotes, roadrunners, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, and...the elusive bighorn sheep.

Shawn finds himself there doing research for his university project about the bighorn in the Avawatz Mountains southwest of Death Valley. He has time to sit and observe or hike and explore. As Shawn realizes that the Big Horn sheep aren't coming to him, he decides to hike around the Avawatz Mountains to try to find them.

As he climbs the face of the mountains, he sees the opening of a long-abandoned mine. There is both adventure and danger as he enters the mine with a dim flashlight and a sense of curiosity.

It wasn't long before he is onto a trail to the mysteries of the mine and "Anderson's grave" not far away. It's complicated by another visitor.

He's isolated...but not alone.
