Where have you been?

Throughout my childhood I spent many vacations in the California deserts. From the Colorado River in the East, Glamis Sand Dunes in the South, Dumont Dunes in the North, and Joshua Tree National Park/Palm Springs in the West I have seen much of the area. I have been there in the summer when the temperatures have reached 125 F (52 C) and all you can do is sit in the cool water trying not to boil as well as in the winter when the air is chrisp but cool. Some fun desert activities include water sking, wake boarding, floating down the river, swimming, drinking, riding motorcycles, and hiking - there is always plenty to do in the desert. For people in Southern California its really no big deal, just the desert. For Europeans, however, it can be quite an intersting experience going through a region with such strange landscape that is much different from anything in Europe. Okay, sure, Poland has Błędów but does it look like this?
