Rain. No wonder the desert is green. The next day we went 4 wheeling in Sperry Wash. There were a few rough spots John got out and spotted us through.

We stopped at Dumont dunes since most of us had not been there. It is a very large BLM camping area at the base of Dumont Dunes. It is an off road vehicle area. Usually it is packed with campers and loud with OHV's, but with the quarantine there were not many people there. The rains made the desert very green.
A huge 5 spot plant, plantain, cryptantha and sand verbenas. A field of sand verbenas.
Judy and John photographing the sand verbena field. We walked along the top of a small dune.
