Expedition to the Geoglyphs of NowhereThis is cool--BLDGBLOG and Atlas Obscura have teamed up to lead an outing to California City in the Mojave Desert 3/20/10 to explore the dusty grids of its amazing abandoned suburbs that never were.

Well, I guess somebody needs to be critical of Wright since most people just accept the genius thing.
