Back to the Trip CRAZYLAND I mean Hollywood

11 years ago when Doug and I were dating we went to Hollywood in March and we had fun takings in the sights and decided we would return for one of the Star tours.  Well we did but this time it was wall to wall people from all over the world and for some reason instead of feeling the excitement of Hollywood it felt sad and lost dreams.
I don't know if it was the endless crowds, endless waitress who were waiting for their big break but the magic Hollywood once had was now gone.  I can see why celebrities live in the Hollywood Hill its beautiful and for some reason for being in a sever drought water was running freely down the streets of Bel Air and Beverly Hills.

Desert Center Gas Station




On our way home we stop off at a place called Desert Center an
all but desert town on the edge of the freeway.  I was looking up interesting sites and this one popped up.  The gas station was locked up but though the windows you would see an only Model T covered, Miliarty jeep covered along with several other cars and trains.  It is the most amazing place because it looks like life stopped.  I would love to be able to check out the locked up gas station because of all the history that is just sitting out in the open.  If I had on better shoes I would have loved to explore the abandoned school
