Well I tend to meander throughout life and just find interesting places and roadside oddities as well as areas natural beauty. Yesterday, I got a taste of all 3. I was wandering around the high desert with my cousin. I got to see the worlds largest freestanding rock correctly called ‘Giant Rock’

Some guy in the1920’s built his house that was a 20×20 area in the ground underneath Giant Rock and it made me wonder if that is where the expression ‘Do you live under a rock?’ came from.
He sold the property to a man that made an airport in the desert next to giant rock and was visited by extraterrestrials and they helped him to build the Integratron. Score!!! I love these kinds of things. Now the Integratron is a retreat center.

Then we went to pioneer town where many western movies and TV program were shot but it’s also a real town with people that have houses that live there.
