Living in the desert, there are few places that I believe stand out from the usual barren hills or sandy dune or even an odd mountain or two. It’s kind of like saying which is better, the Pacific or the Atlantic Oceans? Well, they’re both bodies of water and it’s …

It’s Summer already? Then head your way to Splash Island, and splash in the cool pool of water! (Corny, I know.)
