Road trips are a journey. Road trips through the Mojave desert are a paranormal experience.
One of the mainstays of business promotion in the desert is… mannequins. Almost every desert haunt I’ve visited has mannequins. They’re not used to sell clothing. They’re used to impart weirdness. Like this guy below at Peggy Sue’s 50’s Diner in Yermo California. There he is, proudly serving up the only jeweled cheesburger in Yermo. Who needs AI when you have mannequins? I’ll take a mute mass of articulated fiberglass and plastic to some stupid robot any day.
Another desert staple is the fortune telling machine. This is one of the oddest. He’s positioned in the vestibule of Peggy Sue’s Diner. The place can get crowded, so while waiting for your table, why not jack 50¢ into the slot and let The King plan your life for you? You’ll note it’s not really Elvis – but similar enough. Maybe advice from The King – whoever he is – is better than a guy who self-destructed by age 43?
Out back of Peggy Sue’s is the DinErsaur park. This gorilla is the star attraction.I bet he’s seen some shit.
The Alien Beef Jerky Store, certain to re-vitalize the sad little town of Baker, California. It’s been re-branded “Gateway to Area 51.” (Formerly “Gateway to Death Valley.”) What town wants death as part of its nickname?
The Alien Beef Jerky Hotel. That’s right – HOTEL. Opening…?
Here’s the hotel promotional video.
See any difference between the video and the actual place?
Below is the LO-GAS/EAT ruin off Interstate 15. Where’s the kid that once occupied that stroller?
The wreck of the Royal Hawaiian. What do those palm trees remind you of?
The long-abandoned Bun Boy Motel. Creep factor: 10×10.
The State – operated Death Ray that fries 6,000 birds a year in the Mojave and allegedly generates solar power. But it burns hundreds of millions of cubic feet of gas to create “solar power.” All for only $2.2 billion – what a deal!
