After a quick stop at the MGM casino to see the lions, we hit the road again. The trip through the Mojave desert was about 112°, so it was with some trepidation that we stopped at Calico - a real silver mining ghost town, just outside of Barstow, CA.
It turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Calico boasts a "mystery shack" - where the laws of gravity are flipped upside down - water runs uphill, it's impossible to stand up straight - we all loved it. We also stopped at the saloon for old time root beer. Punk loved the fact that they gave you free buckets of peanuts, and encouraged you to spit the shells on the floor. Kooka panned for fools gold - and found quite a bit.
We pulled into Ventura late that night - exhausted and ready for bed.
