The Rock

This is a place called "The Rock Inn" (I wonder why - Ha Ha). It is a bar/cafe/motel in Lake Hughes, CA. It was built between 1927 and 1929. A few years back, my friend Judy and I went out to the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve and we decided to drive over to this place to have lunch. We were the only people there at the time. Food was really good. The manager let Judy and I wander around the place as we wanted to see what the rooms looked like. They were very small, just a bed and a side table and they did not have "in-room" bathrooms. There is one bathroom in the hall that everyone shares. The Rock Inn is now an historical landmark.

My Gated Community - 1994

This is what my gated community looked like back in December of 1994 when Ben and I first moved in. There was snow on the mountain tops that winter. There were not very many homes here at that time. Our house was the only one on our side of the street. I remember how upset Ben was when they started putting houses in those empty lots. Needless to say, we lost most of this view.

Star Fish

This photo was so "forgotten" that I do not even remember where or when I took it. I'm assuming it was back when Ben and I had motorcycles and we used to ride up Hwy. 1 near Malibu and Zuma and also up into Oxnard, CA and Ventura, CA. We would ride to the beach and walk around and then head home.

Near Palm Springs, CA

Came upon this roadside attraction many years ago when Ben and I were dating. We had driven down to Palm Springs, CA for the day and happened to notice it along the way.
