Rayleen and I went camping out in Desert Hot Springs. It certainly is a hot desert and hope does spring eternal. 29 Palms does have an artsy aspect to it. We found some strange and interesting places.
In 29 Palms we visited: 1) Pioneertown, an old Hollywood set for westerns, now a tourist attraction with interesting buildings and a real cool eatery. 2) Christ Park, an exhibit of New Testament moments. 3) The Institute of Metaphysics, 4) Noah Purifoy Desert Art is a fine collection of desert art made, I think, mostly from found items. 5) These last three places were located next to each other: Crochet Museum, Bubble Beauty Salon and Joshua Tree Saloon. All very interesting and worth a visit. The hamburgers at the saloon were incredible.
