18. steel and plastic again
Aimlessly exploring the city, I saw at least 10 tower palms of varying varieties poking over storefronts or highway railings. In the end, I sought a grouping of five on the north side.
The group grew fenced as a family on the edge of the expanding burbish, locked in by highway 215. Their spot stood above the city near, I believe, mountains of the Desert Range. The wind ripped and sharded the plastic to the dry earth. The plastic leaves nestled into the blowing sands where they remained heavily and un-rottingly.
The steel shafts were painted a camoflage-like bark pattern, though they failed to finish the south (oppositethehighway) side of the tallest tower.
I passed the only pine tower of Vegas as I headed down and out of the city toward California, the Mojave and the worlds largest thermometer of Baker.
