Coachella (pron.: /koʊˈtʃɛlə/, /koʊ.əˈtʃɛlə/)[2] is a city in Riverside County, California; it is the easternmost city in the region collectively known as the Coachella Valley (or the Palm Springs area). It is located 28 miles (45 km) east of Palm Springs, 72 miles (116 km) east of Riverside, and 130 miles (210 km) east of Los Angeles.
Known as the "City of Eternal Sunshine", Coachella is largely a rural, agricultural, family-oriented community in the desert and one of the state 's fastest growing cities in the late 20th century. When it first incorporated back in 1946, it had 1,000 residents, but the population was 40,704 at the 2010 census.
The eastern half of the Coachella valley is below sea level, and the area 's average elevation is 68 feet (35 m) below sea level. The Salton Sea, a saltwater lake located about 10 miles (16 km) South of Coachella, lies 227 feet (69 m) below sea level.
The city also lends its name to the Coachella grapefruit; the town 's stretch of State Route 111 is named Grapefruit Boulevard in its honor. Harrison Street or State Route 86 is declared historic U.S. Route 99, the major thoroughfare that connects with Interstate 10 a few miles north of

    As a forensic anthropologist working on the “fox hollow murders” and examining the heavily fragmented and commingled remains that were found burned, different strategies and forensic methods were employed in recovering and identifying the victims. Some of the remains retrieved showed significant burns making it harder for forensic anthropologist to distinguish between the remains. Nonetheless, forensic anthropologists noted that there were two distinct types of states in which the remains were burned, a green state, and a dry state. The bones that were burned in a green states were easily recognized by the pronounced attachment of flesh to the bones and the fresh appearance of the remains, whereas the dry state didn’t have any flesh attached and was just bones (Ubelaker, 2008). Forensic anthropologist could also differentiate between the two types of burning states through the external changes that occurred to the bones as they were burned. In the green (fleshed) state, the bones displayed transverse fractures, had pronounced irregular longitudinal splitting along the bones, and considerable warping-which is bending and twisting of the bones to make it appear as though the bone was made of rubber and deformed intentionally (Ubelaker, 2008). However, remains burned in a dry state displayed none of these characteristics and produced less variation in fracture patterns and warping (Ubelaker, 2008).…

    Blue highways have all the old shops and towns that people work and live in. Some shops sell only something made right in that little area and nowhere else. The author states that "You can find the best ever creamy frozen custard at a little shack sitting on a gravel lot outside of Tipton, and the best ever fried catfish in a wee town called Rosebud." this shows that only certain people make certain things that are found in their town or village. "Right before you get into West St. Louis County, you run into one of the most famous historic highways - Route 66." the author states that route 66 is a famous historic highway because Americans drove it in the 1920's up until it was removed from the highway system in 1985.

If not LA, then San Francisco, which is located in northern California, comes next to mind. San Francisco is known for its Golden Gate Bridge and technological savvy. Curious, you peek out your car window and automatically start to question whether you’re going in the right direction. You find yourself surrounded by green and fields filled with groups of Holstein and Jersey cows, endless…
