You will end up in the wrong spot. You will end up going the wrong direction and you wont be able to find your way to the center.

The mazes are everywhere, passages opening up left and right. To write this book, house of rain, i walked a little bit over a thousand miles in legs from the four Corners Region from arizona, n...

Because as the moon was rising i could see he was nervous, pacing back and forth because he wasnt sure if he was exactly right. You use spherical trigonometry to figure it out and he was pacing back and forth and ...

Every place has this backward trail, this labyrinth, leading you around. I was walking arpd this maze for about an hour before ...

Every place in the desert is a story. Ev...
