About Me

I’m an outlier’s outlier.

I live on the eastern edge of the western edge of the Great Basin. My nearest neighbor to the south in late August is Black Rock City. The rest of the year three and half hours is how I measure distance. That’s what it takes to get anywhere from here. If you were to visit me it would seem longer than three and a half hours if you started at the place where I turn around. That’s because time stretches when you go somewhere new, especially in the desert.

I’m not the only one living on the edge of the edge. You might be too, just a different edge. I spend quite a bit of time holding on. It's like balancing a rose in each hand. But it’s worth it. Every time I turn around something fantastic happens. My private back yard is an ocean of sagebrush. My front yard is Shangri-la.

If you want to learn more about what it’s like here I hope you’ll stick around
Three Horse Garden this month.

We have a Starbucks.
