Throwback Thursday, Dinosaurs in the Desert

It's been a little over a year since my last really big road trip; must mean I am over due!! 
These were a couple photos from a trip I took out with friends to Palm Springs.  Because lounging and drinking by the pool would not suffice, we found ourselves exploring the surrounding towns.

Every time I visit the desert it reminds me of my youth.  It's a strange place, fitting for the eccentric.  So if i could live any where, the desert would be the top choice.  

These creations by Claude K. Bell can be seen from the interstate.  These dinosaurs are a reminder of a the kitsch architectural movement that built head turning structures to pull people off the freeways to stop at there establishments.  The freeways were once lined with these campy structures.  

These dinosaurs now greet the visitors to the Cabazon Dinosaurs, Creationist Museum.
