I'm driving to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, to attend RollerCon What are some roadside attractions to check out? Concrete dinosaurs? Buildings shaped like stuff? Independent diners? Ghost towns?

Years ago I awoke on the floor, amongst a few empty bottles of Wild Turkey, in the backseat area of my car sweating like crazy... I unfolded myself and opened a window to get blowtorched by an even hotter wind outside the car!! I stumbled out and eventually figured out that I was parked in a gas station parking lot just east of Barstow.
No big deal... except... the last thing I remember was partying back at home in Lewistown, Montana!! 
I got in my car... drove on to Huntington Beach... parked my car... and played bum for two weeks on the beach...
Yeah... that's it... Barstow...  |

There's a good restaurant in Baker called the Mad Greek. Good food and ice cold milkshakes. I always stop there on my way to Las Vegas. Baker also has the tallest thermometer. Not too interesting unless you see it reading 115 degrees--which I have on numerous occasions.

|  | The older I get, the better I was. | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Pasadena, CA | | | There's a big outlet mall in Barstow. There's the world's tallest thermometer in Baker. Other than that, it's a lot of brown dirt and rocks. Just get to Vegas as quick as you can. |

It's one of the highlights of my Vegas trips-I actually look forward to Alien Jerky and wind up with about a month's supply.
Oh yeah, the world's biggest thermometer is a bit of a disappointment. F that thing.
If you're into meth whores there are an abundance of those on the way as well.
