Desert. Sun. Sand. No roads or human settlements within fifty miles in any direction. The perfect place to found a town? That's what Steve Ragsdale believed.

Desert. Sun. Sand. No roads or human settlements within fifty miles in any direction. The perfect place to found a town? That's what Steve Ragsdale believed. So he and his wife bundled up their four kids in a 1915 Ford Model T, bought a local prospector's shack and well, and built a fuel station (50-gallon drum), a repair garage, and café. He advertised "Free food on days the sun doesn't shine" and "No drunks, no dogs-we prefer dogs." He was the owner, sheriff, rockhound, writer, naturalist, desert guide, and Santa Claus at Christmas. He became one of the local "desert rats" and earned the moniker "Desert Steve." Along the way, he became part of history: the Colorado Aqueduct, the construction of the first State and National highways, the invention of prepaid healthcare, General Patton and World War II, the largest iron mine in the United States, flying saucer sightings, murder, and much more. Based on a true story, this is the tale of a quirky, clever, and bold man who pursued a dream, wrote bad poetry, and found ways to survive when many would have perished or packed it in.
