rain shadow;

On the opposite side of the mountains as the ocean is a vast rain shadow. This area receives very little rain, and as such it is nearly a desert. Sage and other scrub plants, along with short trees do still survive here. Wild horses make this area their home, and even some exotics let loose from zoos have established a population here. Many dogs try to avoid this area, but some packs have been known to use this place as a proving ground of sorts for adolescents.
