    A classic roadside attraction. Once again in Oro Grande along Route 66.
    Elmer Long is still working on this and I have some bottles to donate. Admission is free but he does take donations.
    I may do a part 2 on this one if there is interest.

      Wow! Your flipping me out! I was born at George Air Force Base, my family still owns 40 acres just off of Air Base Rd., my brother lives in Apple Valley and my Father lived in Andlanto until he passed away this last year. This is all within a few miles of Oro Grande, and I don't remember ever being there. We moved to Rialto (where your Wig Wam Motel post is located) around 1955. In high school a buddy and me would hitch hike up Lake Arrowhead ( where you mentioned you were from)and camp for the weekends. I currently live in South Dakota, and am looking forward to going back and exploring the High Desert. Oro Grande will be one of my first stops. Thanks for the post.

      I would love to see this. It sorta reminds me of the Watts Towers, like something odd. Isn't that what we here have in common??? The odd!!!
    22. fortapache fortapache, 10 years ago
      Thank you very much valentino97. It's just north of Victorville. Interesting area there is an ostrich farm nearby and several old buildings and more.
