Oasis in the desert

This picture is taken at an Oasis just outside of Palm Desert Ca .The San Andreas fault line runs along the hillside and forces water to the surface in the middle of the desert. It is fascinating to encounter lush growth and freely running water in the midst of the desert. A park preserve is located here. It is a spot where gold miners stopped overnite on their quest for gold. I have attached a link to a more elaborate writeup on this area
