Easy Day

Hi all
Kept today to a minimum
although I still did not get a nap

Headed out to Yucca Valley with the intent
of going to the California Welcome Center
Missed it and went to the quilt shop (surprise!)
Well it was also an Art gallery and a gift store.
After about an hour of visiting with the owners
we got back on the road and headed into the desert for lunch
Pioneertown, CA,

was supposed to have been built
as movie background. There were many movies
filmed there. And we got to eat lunch and walk the "Mane" street.

Lots of old looking buildings that now house several
period type Artisans.

 

Fooled around there for a while then went in for lunch.

Was loud, crowded and slow
service
the food was good
and the beer cold.






And after found the art work
Looks like it was inspired by a scene from E. T. the Extraterrestrial.

Then went for a drive up the canyon
Saw this nice little "place" up the hill

And the rocks in some areas are pretty amazing

Will be getting more of these photos
This was only a small pile.

Then went looking for property
found a nice buildable lot

If we could bring the water from the lake
we would have our own oasis.
Many of the properties have large tanks
I am guessing they buy and have their water hauled in.
Maybe not ready to move, yet!
And on our way back to civilization

Made a short drive back to one of the Nat. Park campgrounds
and looked around to see if we wanted to move there for a few days.
The sites were all too small for us to fit into
and appeared everybody likes sleeping on the ground in tents
crowded in like a city.
Made the RV Park look pretty spacious.

Back home and a few chips and home made
bean and salsa (commercial peach pineapple) dip
with an adult beverage
finish up the blog and Downton Abby
Ready for bed and new adventures in Joshua Tree Nat. Park.

Make tomorrow great
Hugs
Tom and Millie
