Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Ever been driving down the interstate, and see sign after sign for some crazy roadside attraction? This place certainly fits the bill. It really isn’t all that interesting, but it is a good stop to break up a long drive through the desert and get a snack. What is it? The Thing is a roadside…
We literally flipped a coin to decide whether we would visit City of Rocks State Park, or another local attraction. Lucky for us, the flip landed us in this awesome volcanic playground. What is it?
