La Quinta Blogging Day 5
105 degrees ... unseasonably mild.
The Santa Rosa Mountains, which curl around La Quinta, are desert-buffed limestone, dark reddish brown, raised in huge horizontal slabs by the near-by San Andreas fault, and stripped bare by eons of harsh weather. They appear as stark as the moon and stand in ragged silhouette against an almost iridescent blue sky. At night, their shattered ridgelines are still visible, as the jagged line where the stars stop and the blackness begins.
