Spending a weekend in the Mojave Desert with temperatures in the 100's doesn't sound fun, I know. But, I can honestly say that despite the heat, we had a great time!
A desert trip always starts with looking for unique, quirky stuff along the way.
Outside of Joshua Tree in the small town of Twentynine Palms, the buildings are covered in beautiful murals. This one, however, made me stop the car.
Amazing, isn't it? I still can't believe that this "artist" is part of the mural!
Between Twentynine Palms and Baker, there are miles and miles and miles of desert. Our car was full of gas and an ice chest full of cold water!
Baker not only has the tallest thermometer in the world but they have the Mad Greek restaurant where we devoured delicious strawberry milk shakes. I'm sure they were EXTRA yummy because it was 110 degrees outside.
Baker is also the place for aliens and their jerky....
Once again, we arrived at Zzyzx for a weekend in the Mojave Desert Preserve.
