And there were more contradictions — on our way to Morey, we passed a field covered in stone markers. They were placed by the Energy Department warning people not to dig due to petroleum contamination.

Yet there was a contaminated site, which looked like a cemetery for giants, and it was surrounded by the incredible natural beauty of the high desert.
