Manzanita in the Dust?

Hello Ruby in the Dust. Has your Band begun to Rust? Neil Young with Crazy Horse (Cowgirl in the Sand - 1969) My friend took this photo of Manzanita growing in some sand in the Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness of southern Utah. The sand is derived from oxidized rocks being carved by the forces of Nature. Winds are constantly blowing the sand over the landscape. I heard that late Autumn/early Winter IS an outstanding TIME to visit the Paria River area. PLEASE ... don't let the sands of time bury your MOJO!! !!! !!
