After 12 hours of driving (it really was quite enjoyable) we made it to Rancho Mirage, near Palm Springs.
We began the day at around 8am (just on time for a scheduled 6:30 am planned departure) stopped in Beaver at the cheese factory, without getting any cheese, a first and continued with short stops in Street George and Baker CA. There were opportunities to recall trips of days gone bye including Bun Boy, its now a Big Boy and the infamous ZZYZX Click here to find out more than you wanted to know about the ZZYZX exit south of Baker.
Other than being the last word in the English dictionary it was home to Soda Springs a spa and resort but never like our present hotel.The mom will be posting an entry concerning our trip and how it turns out, I can say know that it is off to a hot start, it's 101 at 8pm! See ya, the dadoo.

Oh, lovely Zzyzx. Such an odd name and surprising to see on a road sign. I'm looking forward to mom's pic of the thermometer (in Barstow right?) Have fun relaxing by the pool!
I have to admit that I never knew there was anything special on the zzyzx road. I've gone by that road on family trips ever since I was a little girl.
The date cookies sound pretty good; not too slimming, but good.
