 The Antelope Valley is the western most section of the Mojave Desert, north of Los Angeles, CA.  Man and nature can exist together with planning and cooperation.  Open space is not to be taken lightly.  With careful consideration, nature should be allowed to co-exist without the fear of destruction from the human species.  The desert is not a wasteland, development is not always progress.
