It’s my favorite

I’ve been working for several weeks on a long post about the Desert View Tower about 90 miles east of me…. out in the desert…. could account for the name….

Many decades ago someone carved several animals out of solid granite out there. This is one of them:

It’s my favorite. Feel free to venture a guess as to why.

That’s the Desert View Tower. It’s about 75 miles due east of downtown San Diego.

The view of the desert from the tower is breathtaking. Although today was a little hazy, I think I got some good enough pictures to show you, but that will be tomorrow, along with the history of this roadside attraction.

What I wanted to show you this evening, along with the picture of the tower, is a picture of the Sorry We’re Closed! sign that hangs on the gate to the Tower. The gate was open today, of course, but read the sign. The reasons why sometimes they are closed are funny.

I’m thinking that if the temperature is above 120° or the winds are howling over 100 mph, look for me in a shelter somewhere! I guarantee you I won’t be driving around in my car visiting tourist attractions!
