Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Imagine drifting over sacred red canyons in a hot-air balloon, descending into shadows where legend and landscape blur. Chasing Tsegi Wind invites readers into the untamed heart of the Southwest, where adventure, memory, and myth ride the same thermal.Pilot, miner, and wanderer WD Olive guides us through a lifetime of desert crossings-ballooning into Diné country, racing a half-wild dog through a mining camp, surviving near disasters that test both luck and faith.
