Because I love this land, I hesitate to show it. To not show is to leave those who don't see, don't seek or don't care to continue not to. It allows this small spot to stay less molested than it already has been by those who think these places are not damaged under tread. To not show it dooms it to erasure by those who quietly and subtly take our public lands for their profit leaving destruction and use in their wake. Everytime I come to the desert I see off trail usage, plants and bio crust destroyed. Those who do not know what they tread on or roll over do not understand how long these take to grow. Not realizing that they may not return if left in damaged in time for even thier children to see. The desert is not lifeless, it is not void, it is not a desolate land we can destroy not worrying what it'll cause in the future.
A still pool next to a fast moving stream slowly making a new canyon through granite. With only a few small cracks feeding with pool it remains glassy smooth.... Until Alo decides he want to walk into it.
