EPISODE #245: DEPLOYMENT FROM TWENTYNINE PALMS

The Mojave gets slow in the summertime, not much going on. So there was much excitement when the word spread on that early summer night: The Marines were shipping out to Los Angeles. Rumors of troop carriers and white buses, full of Marines with full kit, ready to go, and deeply annoyed to be called back to barracks, early on a Saturday night. But, it was something to do, somewhere to go. Everybody wants to get out of the Mojave in summertime.

This is EPISODE #245: DEPLOYMENT FROM TWENTYNINE PALMS, with soundscapes by RedBlueBlackSilver. Written & hosted by Ken Layne. Listen on the radio in Joshua Tree and across the Mojave High Desert on KCDZ 107.7 FM, 10-11 p.m. Fridays.
