	114 Years of Outstanding Service
		Mojave became one of the more recognizable plants in the system with its distinctive geodesic dome storage facility, which provides protection for 75,000 tons of rock.
		The dome was a shape particularly well suited to the desert environment, as it tended to counter the effect of the strong desert winds while protecting the crushed rock and limestone beneath its 100 foot high center.
		Mojave Cement, the resource hidden within buildings and highways, continues to be a vital part in the development of cities and town throughout California and Nevada.

	Mojave Desert, California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Mojave Desert occupies a huge area of southern California, from the southern end of the Sierra Nevada Mountains roughly as far south as Interstate 10, where it meets the Colorado Desert.
		Along the main roads which run through the Mojave Desert (I-15, I-40 and California State Highway 58) there are no sand dunes as are found in the Sahara or Arabian deserts, nor giant cacti as found in the eastern part of the Sonoran Desert.
		I suspect the Mojave National Preserve (north of I-15 in California near the Nevada border) may be one of the main area where dunes are found.

	Mojave Desert, California
		The Mojave Desert (pronounced "mohárvee") is a barren stretch of land running south of the Sierra Nevada and north of the San Bernardino and San Gabriel mountains, covering an area of 15,000sq.mi/38,850sq.km, its eastern boundary being formed by the states of Nevada and Arizona.
		Although the main parts of the desert are very hot and dry, attempts at agricultural cultivation in the extreme west, Antelope Valley (Los Angeles County), have been crowned with success.
		As the sun pours down on many days of the year (over 3,000 hours), the average air-humidity is very low (thus protecting the steel in the modern industrial plant from rust) and vast land-areas are for the most part unused, the Mojave Desert offers ideal conditions for the production of regenerative energy.

	Trilobites In The Marble Mountains, Mojave Desert, California
		And, of course, one of the most famous places in California to find early Cambrian trilobites was at the prime fossil quarry in the Marble Mountains.
		Many collectors at the trilobite quarry often developed quite a fascination and fondness for these extinct plant remains, taking time out from their intense trilobite-searching to look for the dark oval structures, roughly a half-inch to two inches in diameter, embedded in the lighter-colored grayish-blue limestones.
		Camping sites there tended to be dry, as most folks who wished to spend time collecting brought along their own food, water and wood, pitching tens or parking their cars along reasonably flat, level areas considerably downslope, well-removed from the actual fossil quarry.
