The Manzanita, named for the brushy brush so common over drier California, occupies a 3,580 - acre rectangle of infertile upland valleys and meadows in the western part of the Carrizo Desert.
Homes of the residents are widely scattered, tucked behind boulders and hillsides for protection from the uncompromising summer sun. As residents have been troubled by inconsiderate, trespassing scofflaws they prefer no off-road visitors. |
