Zzyzyx 1

Posted on November 29, 2003 in Photos Vacation Fall 2003

On our way home from Utah, we stopped off at Zzyzyx, the home of the California Desert Studies Center at the western edge of the Mojave National Preserve.

Zzyzyx has a long history as a roadside stop and an oasis where a cultist set up a spa for the Hollywood elite. There’s some interesting scenery on the horizon, but as I say in my Local Hikes trail report, “this is barely worth a picnic sandwich.”

The vacation series wraps up tomorrow.
