We decided to make an adventure of our long road trip from San Diego to Reno. I found this brilliant website – Roadside America – the Guide to Uniquely Odd Tourist Attractions. (They also have an app.) Our fun stops broke up our trip in just the right ways, allowing time to stretch, catching a slice of Americana, seeing areas/people we might never have seen, random art and oddities and so much more. Off we go….

The car is packed.

The Muffler Man.

Grape Day Park.

The road trip driver.

Big Gumby and Pokey.

Living Ghost Town in Randsburg. We met some really neat people here.

The UniRoyal Gal.

The Give/Take Sculpture in Olancha.

Harry gave a few Rainbow Loom bracelets he made. He looked in the take canister but decided not to take anything.

“Be kind not right.”

Pit stop.

Nightmare rock is not so scary.

A stop in Bishop.

And day one is complete.
