Another evocative trip into the fractured heart of the American Dream. Marco's wonderful way with words conjures up as many images as Neil Young's After The Gold Rush, though Young's vision is more impressionistic and, well, stoned. The article was also a timely reminder of all those hidden gems in the US, as I discovered last year when I spent a couple of days on the edge of the Joshua Tree Desert in California, retracing the last hours of the one and only Gram Parsons. Unforgettable.
Both of these sound and look worth visiting from your descriptions and photos. Dunton Hot Springs seems particularly appealing, what with that lovely pool, the hiking—and a personal chef to boot!🍜

This feels so timely as I just returned from the desert (the Mojave). Also, that bath house looks incredible!! 🛁
I can't imagine being at one of these places. Such a good read.

So glad you enjoyed it, Amelia!
