Transmitting from the Mojave Wilderness in Joshua Tree, California,

now is the time for Desert Oracle Radio, the voice of the desert.

Night has fallen on the desert, and the desert is old an old land and it's age visible to the naked eye

i was reading the UFO reports, the new batch of UFO reports I like to catch up on to find out what people are experiencing in various places.

And there was this interesting report from some ranchers down in the southeastern corner of Arizona,

close to New Mexico and the international border.

And described this mountain rangecribe this mountain range,

this mountain range I've seen,

but I've never been to.

Even though I have been close many times,

because these mountains are the Dragoon Mountains, and that means you get off the 10 at Dragoon Road,

which is, of course, the exit for The Thing, the mystery of the desert.

Everybody stopped to see the Thing at some point in their lives.

I don't remember how many times I've stopped there or how many times I've driven that stretch

of highway.

It's one of those magical stretches of highway.

Scenic and strange with every kind of possibility in every direction.

Why just to the south is the Mexican border, Nogales and Agua Prieta and the state of Sonora.

Tombstone and Bisbee on the way there.

Marty Robbins wrote his song El Paso on this drive, the Drive to El Paso.

But as you keep seeing that sign all the way from Phoenix, really.

El Paso, 420 miles.
