Mojave cross stolen

Looks like someone stole the Sunrise Rock Cross this weekend.

For the record: I think this is an inflammatory act that does neither side much good.

Nice to see the rock in it’s natural state without the “memorial” on top. But i agree this will just make matters worse in the long run.

The cross never bothered me. It’s been there longer than I have been in the desert-and I’ve been out here a while now. Seems like a mean spirited act to steal it. It is arguably a historical object like the Kelso Depot.

Well, that’s counterproductive.

About me

I'm a natural history and environmental writer, an editor and photographer. I've lived in upstate New York, the SF Bay Area, Washington, DC, the Mojave Desert, and Los Angeles. My writing has appeared in publications ranging from Camas and Orion to Bay Nature, California Wild, the Boston Globe, and about thirty daily papers nationwide when I was a syndicated garden writer for the Knight-Ridder chain. No, I never got to meet the talking car.

I've traveled extensively in the Mojave, Great Basin and Sonoran deserts, as well as in the steppes and slickrock country of the Colorado Plateau.

About Coyote Crossing

This blog has existed in one form or another since 2003. At first it was called Creek Running North, after Pinole Creek, near where I lived back then. I moved in 2008 and renamed the site Coyote Crossing, but about a thousand people* still link here under the old name.

My publicist tells me I should mention that my writing here has frequently been called the best on the Internet.

* May not actually equal 1000
