ANZA-BORREGO DESERT, CALIFORNIA – I grew up in the desert in Utah so arid places are deeply in my comfort zone.  Anzo-Borrego is a serious desert – annual precipitation is less than 7 inches.  During the 1982-89 drought total precipitation was zero.  The Borrego Badlands is often listed as the hottest place in the United States – average summer temperatures are 107 degrees.  Highs of 125 degrees have been recorded.

But this spring there has been reasonable rainfall, so the desert here is remarkably green.
