After 3 Nights in Las Vegas, We Began Our Trip Back to Palm Desert Through the Mojave Desert.
Interesting Place for a 50's Diner - It Was Authentic!
We Stopped for the Diner But Added a Detour to Calico.
Guess We're Not The Only Ones Interested.
Calico Was "Saved" by Walt Knott (of Knotts Berry Farm Fame) in 1951 And Donated to San Bernadino County, CA in 1966.
Where's The Corn Cob Pipe?

Is This Where Hollywood Got The Idea?

At Its Height Calico Had a Population of 1,200 And Over 500 Silver Mines.
So Long Calico, Back to Palm Desert. We Had a Fabulous Trip. Where Are We Going Next Year Dad?
