What's Learnt in the Cradle

Release date: August 15th, 1984. My purchase date: 1985, probably. I still know all the lyrics. p.s. I'm waiting to get all the desert pix to post along with my desert tales. When those are all available, I'll reveal the secrets of the Texas mountains.

Into the Desert

It's road trip time. Tomorrow I embark on a 500 mile journey towards Big Bend National Park, in southwest Texas, into the Chihuahuan Desert -- the largest in North America. It will be my first excursion into such a place, though for unknown reasons, deserts have always fascinated me. Perhaps, on this trip, I'll find out why. In any case, hasta luego! See y'all on the flip side!

I mean, if you're going to do a thing, don't do it half-assed! p.s. Go on, add your own!
