Secret Places in the Mojave Desert, Vol. IV: Joshua Tree & The Mojave Preserve
Jim was born in Little Rock, AR in July of 1978 to an Air Force family. He spent his childhood moving from state to state, base to base. One of these bases was Edwards Air Force base in the Mojave Desert. Jim spent three years living here before being moved to the east coast, vowed one day to return to live in the Mojave Desert. Five years ago this became a reality. In those five years, Jim became captivated by Death Valley, Ghost Towns, and the desert in general. He submerged himself in local history, and spends every available moment exploring the vast Death Valley Region. Jim now resides in the Mojave Desert with his wife and two dogs. Jim is the Associate Editor of Ghost Towns for Dezert Magazine. Dezert Magazine is the modern reincarnation of the original Desert Magazine that was published from 1937 through 1993. Jim has also been featured in The Sun Runner Magazine based out of the Joshua Tree area.
