Visited the Calico Ghost Town

Not a lot of people know about Calico Ghost Town, but this place has a lot to offer.  If you like the old western town experience then this restored mining town will give you a few hours of enjoyment. Admission is $8 per adult which you pay at a booth as you park your vehicle. Calico is a collection of restored buildings and replicas, some which serve as museums to show life in the mining town that used to reside here in the late 1800s. Many of the shacks now serve as stores or eateries. Wood crafts, pottery, rocks & minerals, a variety of gifts and novelties, candles, a store devoted to dogs, and one of those vintage photography studios can be found within Calico.

The Calico Mountains of California are a mountain range located in the Mojave Desert.

Visit the Salvation Mountain

Last week we headed out on an Adventurous road trip. We checked out this eclectic community of Slab City, California - We loved all the colors and we all enjoyed the artistic feel to this area. It’s amazing what you can find in the desert. Salvation Mountain has always been very intriguing to me. It’s out in the middle of nowhere but people come from all over the world to see it.

Salvation mountain is a painted hillside in the SoCal desert. It’s creator, Leonard Knight, who passed away in 2014, decided to spread a message of love after accepting Jesus. It was created many years ago, Leonard  was passionate about getting the message of salvation to everyone.

This handmade masterpiece by Leonard Knight is just taking my breath away!
