Sagewinds Farm High Desert Camp

The host, Ellen, was unavailable to interact face to face for personal reasons, so I was greeted by two neighbors who were helping her. While they were initially friendly, I found some of their comments off-putting. One asked about my nationality, and another, upon hearing I was from LA, responded with, “I’m sorry about that.” I know people love to hate on LA, but it felt unnecessary to say that to a paying guest. I can’t imagine someone appreciating that kind of remark about where they live. How would they feel if I said the same thing to them? I booked this Hipcamp because the listing mentioned that you could see the Milky Way most nights, but unfortunately, this wasn’t the case for me. I visited during a new moon with mostly clear skies, but the Milky Way wasn’t visible to the naked eye due to light pollution. My stargazing app and long-exposure photos confirmed it was there right it in front of me, but because of the horizon’s flashing lights and other light pollution, it couldn’t be seen without a camera. I walked around the property hoping for a better view, but the light pollution remained an issue. The property itself is beautiful, but for me, the combination of the social interactions and the lack of expected visibility of the Milky Way made it not worth the visit.
