Hey! Everyone! I just found this thread. Guess I can be added to it since I live in the high desert of California. I actually live in a little(don't blink) town called Inyokern, just off 395 halfway between Bishop and Los Angeles. I have the full view of the Sierras from my front porch and I love to sit in my swing with a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. That is if it's not windy. Yuk! I hate the wind. I have chickens, quail, parakeets and finches as well as a German Shepherd and a cat. I love to read, quilt, crochet and garden. Hope to enjoy visiting with you all.
