Environmental Desert Cultural Research Center located at 6500' elevation in Northeast Nevada. Ongoing experiments into water collection, remote wildlife filming and the recording of local oral histories and desert hermit manifestos are the current focus of funded research.
Leonard will be leaving the mountain, probably for the last time, if everything goes according to his plan. Security detail on Murdock Mountain just doesn’t pay as much as the ranches in Southern Arizona do. He’s already asked to buy our Center Fire 30-06, but this may leave the High Desert Data Center with a handicapped defense apparatus for some time until new 9mm sidearms can be issued. We wish him luck. We’ve offered him permanent lodging at the Cochise County Desert Data Center in Arizona in exchange for his ATV, both of which are in excellent shape. Leonard is also a gunsmith and motorcycle mechanic so his skills will be missed!
