Can't say exactly where in the desert I am, however I can say why.

I, of all the people that were doing things at the air base was the only person who had desert camping experience, and knew their way around the Mojave.

Well let me rephrase that. The only one who had that experience and was not involved in combat. Therefore me being a guide in the desert for supply teams looking for caches of ....Widgets. (widgets because I can't say what we're hunting for).

Anyway dinner today was jackrabbit and tuber stew because the only mre's we were given were vegie omelet....and none of us wanted to see the russian with us puke his guts out again.
