April 24, 2005 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dos Palmas Oasis, California Dos Palmas er en oase i Sonora-Ørkenen i Californien, som i gamle dage var det vigtigste vandhul på ruten gennem ørkenen. Den hed Dos Palmas Oasis, fordi der opringelig voksede to palmer i oasen. De har siden formeret sig til syvogtyve. Det er en seks-kilometer vandretur derned, og det er utrolig flot. Dos Palmas is an oasis in the Sonoran Desert in California, which in the past was the most important watering hole on the route through the desert.
