Per the puzzle statement, he lives within 200 miles of a desert - probably closer than that, since he drives to the middle of a desert. Or is ''middle' meant figuratively, as in eg. someplace lonely and deserted? Middle is somewhat figurative, generally within a desert, not just to the edge of it Is this on the North American continent? Asian? African? South American? Relevant? Relevantly USA Oaises relevant? No Mirages relevant? Only perhaps in a very tangential sort of way
Is his motive /reason for going to the desert relevant? Yes e.g. he wanted to see lots of stars, he wanted to be alone, he wanted to meet someone there, he wanted to look for buried treasure? (Just WAGing around here.) Good WAGing, but no
