Mojave Desert - Pronounced, Mohavie. The dominant geologic features of this landscape are hills of bare rock, usually broken up into loose boulders. These hills are popular among and rock climbing enthusiasts.
The flatland between these hills is sparsely forested with Joshua trees. Together with the boulder piles the trees make the landscape otherworldly.
We traversed this territory enjoying the desolation and magnificence of the scenery
Three good things;
1. No fuel, no service, no food for miles and miles - didn’t suffer.
2. Our destination, a historic stone house was a total delight. This was our room… an interesting picture on the wall?
3. Joshua Trees are just the world’s largest yucca. Got a good photo then discovered a mark on my lens after I had downloaded it!
Such an elegant and spacious looking at room for you to rest in. Nice to know they recognize the importance of the world renowned traveling by placing her portrait on the wall!
I too would be worried about my feet sticking out of the end of the bed. But otherwise, what luxury, and I do like the way you have added the very elegant portrait.

Interesting bed...about the size of a boxing ring? A combination of the POV and the bed being much wider than what most us are used to, suggests shorter length. Illusory.
Your description if familiar! The luxury isn't. We motorhome it when we travel..... and just about everywhere we go from were we live we have to go through desert.
That is one posh desert oasis! And a portrait of the famous author/photographer Maggie Munro too- the only thing better would be an endless supply of photographic equipment.
that is one very nice room. i could sleep in it the whole day!
Super room and I really like how they've personalised it for you!
I really don't get the trend of putting hundreds of cushions on a bed. You have to put them on the floor when you get into bed.
We stayed at one place where there were 11 cushions on the bed as well as the four pillows. Madness!
