For April Fools, boss for the Anza Borrego Desert in California to turn your wildest yarn. Tell a myth of Pegleg Smith, a prismatic inhospitable behaviour. Tell a legend of found gold, singular to be unable to find it once again. Tell a message that would cause Pegleg stuck-up.

While on top of the butte, he deepened a few black pebbles and caught them in his pocket.
