Was doing some goofing off and a bit of back and forth with a friend on Google+ about a place called ZzyZx Road. It really does exist.
Part Three of this article at The Examiner has some images of the exit signs for it.

  2. PS- when in Baker, skip the Burger King and go to THE MAD GREEK

    Great fast food there on the way to Death Valley

  3. Ah... I have mixed emotions about my year in the Mojave. It was relatively close to The First Mrs. Pennington's and my families (hers in Lompoc, mine in El Eh) and the mo'sickle riding was most excellent as I was into dirt bikes at the time. I could push out of my garage and be in open desert in 30 seconds and that's NO exaggeration.

    The WX, OTOH, sucked.
