From the brand-new megaresort at Black Desert to the 27 holes (and amazing condo) at Sand Hollow to the David McLay Kidd-reimagined Entrada to the video-game-fever of Wolf Creek, this foursome of longtime friends (along with an appearance from producer extraordinaire Kris McEwen) discuss the ins and outs of creating a high-desert buddies trip in one of the most picturesque inland settings you’ll find anywhere. | 1h 44m 05s | ||||||
