That's part of the allure for me. The reality of a place being as beautiful as it is deadly.

Agreed.
I'd be sure to have some sort of electric lantern for when it gets dark and your fire somehow goes out. I feel it would be awful to be tripping in the dark unable to find your tent!

that sounds more fun than scary. I would do that tomorow if I could except my wilderness isn't dessert its dark scary huge stretches of forest...
Still would be cool but not by yourself...bears and stuff, bigfoot, rapists, etc.

You know, tripping on Acid out in the desert may be awesome, but that is nothing compared to shrooming in an old abandoned mine. I found one in the mountains one summer and I decided one day that I would go to that area and shroom.
There were other things than the mine really, like some waterfalls and a lake. The easiest way to get to the mine was by taking a boat across the lake, so before I left I took IDK about 2g of cubies (I am sensitive to mushies, but not acid for some reason) and fished (trolled) at slow speed until I reached the side of the lake that the mine access was.
About half way there (sllloooowwww speed to catch fish) the water turned into an amazing reflective sheet of glass warping about to and fro, and suddenly I began to feel sick. So I reeled in the line and kicked up the gas to get there faster (which made things worse in a physical way, but more awesome in a tactile visual way) and some how docked on land.
I tied the boat up and walked through the woods to this trail bringing some snacks and a sobe to drink.
About half way from the boat to the mine entrance I began to feel an overwhelming spiritual presence so I deviated my course and climbed a rock face (probably not a good idea in general) where the sun peaked through the trees and was shining on a field of wildflowers. I sat down on the ledge, basking in the light of the sun amongst the flowers and I began to reflect on my spirituality.
I wondered out loud (obviously hallucinating or experiencing cyclical thought patterns) about my distrust in organized religion, about my anger that so many bad things could be done in the name of someone whois supposedly loving and caring, and how I wanted to believe SOMETHING was out there but I just wasn't sure.
I came to a point in the process where I was calling out, what should I do? What do I believe? Just give me a sign, anything because I need to see to believe. I was sobbing profusely at the time. I had the Sobe bottle in my hand and I smashed it against the side of the rock watching the glass fall majestically to the ground bouncing off of rocks and twigs.
How many of you drink sobe and enjoy the little sayings on the inside of the caps?
Still holding the neck of the bottle in my hand, I remembered that I hadn't had the presence of mind to look to see what the cap said. I turned the broken glass end of the bottle towards me so I could read the cap.
The cap said "Trust In Me"
Suddenly I was awash in a sense of amazement and wonder. Could a higher power really spoken to me in a state of mind that others consider a sinful waste of an experience? What were the odds that that particular cap would be on that particular Sobe bottle that I was going to take with me that day?
I felt that an answer had been given to me with the most distinct wording possible in a way that even reflecting after the experience on the probabilities such an event would take place that it was probably on such a small scale that it had to be more than mere coincidence. Yet that is not all..
Feeling uncomfortable after this event I climbed back down the rock and took the path that led to the mine shaft. Still reflecting on the experience in my mind I found myself in front of the entrance and the tunnel seemed like an abyss that went on and on forever. I felt a VERY negative presence emanating from the cavernous hall, and it took all I could muster to begin to walk in.
The further I walked in the more I realized that the negative presence was growing exponentially. I ventured no further than about 20 feet in before I turned around.
I sat at the mouth of the entrance for a while sensing the entities in the immediate surrounding before deciding that I would defiantly spit in the mine as it represented spitting in the face of evil in my mind.
No sooner had I done that then a wind began to pick up so I began my journey back to the boat to make sure it was still docked. On my way back I passed these tracks that the miners has used to cart debris or other stuff to be off loaded into the lake.
Suddenly from the brush a snake slithered... well slithered isn't quite the word, more like frantically whipped as fast as it could... in the opposite direction of me in a display that seemed more of a fractal than a desperate attempt to flee my presence. My mind manifested the snake as the same snake that tempted man with the original sin.
I truly felt that I was touched by a higher power that day and that representations of evil and I were like magnets of similar polarity forcing each other away from the other.
I got back into the boat and put it in high power till I navigated to the docks. I somehow managed to dock the boat and make it to my car. The rest of the trip was mundane compared to the first half. I drove around the mountains (this was FAR away from any population just FYI, I'd never do that on a city street, or even on country roads) on dirt roads reflecting on what had just happened, before making my way back to the campsite, curling up on a makeshift bed and reminiscing over loves long lost.
This is by far my most trans-formative experience. Afterward I felt completely changed, ready to accept a notion that there was a higher power, that I needed to trust only it and no one else, and that organized religion is merely the different ways people worship the same entity. It was so powerful, so moving. I can only hope that others can also have a similar experience, psychedelic or not, that will help them down their life path.

also i'm not saying the desert would be a bad place to do it, cause the desert is amazing and totally appropriate esp. for cactus
i just wouldn't do it alone or without at least 1 sober person in the group to keep everyone in check
also i think if one were to eat enough it would be best ingested in the morning around 6-8 am

My native friend warned me to never trip out in the desert again, as that is where the bad spirits go at night. Don't know if you have heard native american spirit stories, but he was telling me last time he went out in the desert he saw a 7ft tall spirit with a horse head, and they felt it was time to leave (he wasn't tripping btw, just some smudging or something)
I have found my other native friends have also warned me about this, including specifically with peyote, but I think they just meant for the certain area I'm around because obviously there are people who do peyote in the desert so 
DM Turner's book talks about doing DMT in the desert and encountering some sort of bad spirits or something, and then later he tripped on a boat and a little fairy or something told him DMT is a water spirit. I found that interesting because my friend who told me all sorts of stories about the bad desert spirits (he's never tripped himself btw, only just recently started smoking weed and wants to trip soon) said that his father was in the woods and a little man was talking to him about the bad desert spirits as well.
I'm not saying there necessarily are these spirits or not or anything, but I do find it interesting because my celtic ancestry has a lot of stories of this sort of thing, which is what samhain is all about, and many native american stories are essentially the same, and the belief is that there is a spirit world which is basically another dimension but we can't see it except for at certain times like samhain, which sounds like tripping to me, like the hidden spirit world is just your subconsciousness and occasionally it comes together with the regular outside world, but whether or not it is just a subconscious thing or a thesophistic fairytale, everything I have read points to no trippy in teh desert

I have never tripped alone in the desert, not hard, but I have with friends. I still want to do it alone one time. Just start walking, and when I get to a place that 'feels' totally right, I'll just stop there and set up camp. Hopefully I can find a spot along a creek or near a spring or pond, I'll probably have to go up to a higher altitude.
So what is a place that 'feels right'? I can't explain it but I will know it when I am there.

Desert + Pyschs = My Dream.
Find alittle oasis somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. Eat some mescaline, shrooms, or acid. Trip ballz until a mirage of Alladin's lamp appears.

when i think of a desert, i think of silence and solitude... that would be Awesome.
-------------------- I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
