Mitchell Caverns
$22.00
Two limestone caves in the Providence Mountains, 4,300 feet up, with a third the rangers keep closed. The Chemehuevi called them the eyes of the mountain. Two dark openings on the side of a slope you can see from a long way off. Tours run Friday through Sunday, fifteen at a time, from a small visitor centre at the end of a sixteen-mile spur off I-40. Inside, the air sits in the sixties, summer and winter. Outside, the cholla, the barrel cactus, the Mojave yucca. The same desert Jack Mitchell walked into in 1929 looking for silver, and stayed for the limestone.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
