Bill Mann, aka "Short Fuse" launched this unique series of guide books on the Mojave Desert and the surrounding areas in 1998. This series of books features page after page of color photos of the interesting and sometimes “mysterious” areas described in the book. Bill Mann provides his unique perspective on each site from his decades of experience as a miner and desert explorer. GPS coordinates and written directions are provided to each site so the reader can use the book as a "field copy" to locate and explore these destinations.
