They have not been deterred by the difficult topography, and there is no indication they have paid any heed to rusty, metal signs announcing regularly that ‘HARVESTING AND SELLING PEYOTE IS A FEDERAL CRIME.’ Nor has the legal background done anything to change the availability of local guides who, when they hear the magic words from tourists — ‘We want to go out to the desert’ — sidle up and quietly offer their services.
