We managed to squeeze in just a little bit of this nostalgic past between Barstow and Victorville.
Joe loves the run down and closed up shops. The train tracks running parallel with the road.I wanted to see the Bottle Tree Ranch.The very first sign we saw getting out of the car was an invitation of sorts.Easy enough to find on the side of the road.This is such a lovely and fun yard of art.The shadows were long and wintery.The kids were thrilled to touch and pull and poke at the art.A magical playground.Olivine took a long time deciding which rock she wanted to adoptand I kept thinking about how the shadows resembled the designer Orla Kiely’s flowers.This place is worth the detourand my family gave it five stars.I could have stayed much longer and will definitely find an excuse to wander back here at some point in the future.
