    Zzyzx, formerly Soda Springs, is an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, California, United States, within the boundaries of the Mojave National Preserve, managed by the National Park Service (NPS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Interior, as public land. It is the former site of the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa[2] and now the site of the Desert Studies Center. The site is also the location of Lake Tuendae, originally part of the spa, and now a refuge habitat of the endangered Mohave tui chub.

    I find it so interesting that Mr German finds this interesting! I grew up in Cali and all this footage is very depressing. It looks like a country on the brink of complete destruction and impending doom. As a kid these areas were booming with business, very clean and there was so much excellent produce for sale all over the area.

    I like looking at these old run down - abandoned buildings & think of all the people that has been there the memories of the people that has been there the history of those places - what are some of the memories these places have that we will never know of because they have all since vanished along with the abandonment of these places .

    The Royal Hawaiian Motel reminds me of what Pontins holiday park at Brean Sands In England looks like.

    Didn’t know the Bonnie & Clyde car was there! Wow! Really cool. All those bullet holes! If you watch the movie, “Highwaymen” with Kevin Costner it’s one of the best movies about Bonnie & Clyde. They show exactly what happened when they died. The filmmakers followed exactly what happened. Great movie!

    That rundown Motel seemed like one in GTA: San Andreas. It's located in a fictional version of a country town called Fort Carson, & you were probably in the real-life version of it. It looked & felt familiar with the little check-in building on the front-left of the place. It was like 'Oh! It might be that Motel area in GTA: San Andreas in Fort Carson!' Oh & to note: the game takes place in 1992 & the fictional version of that Motel was in full service that time. No graffiti at all.

    You keep missing the mad Greek restaurant there is baker. It used to have signed photos of many famous people. It is of more historical significance than Peggy sues diners. I hope it didn’t get shut down. The one in garden grove finally shut down in 2018.

    This brings back memories because when I lived in Vegas and would visit LA I would do this drive a lot. If you want a really secluded experience with long desert roads there is a connection from Cali right outside of Pahrump into the death valley area.

GiV has an eye for all things PHOTO! Hmmm. Some lonely looking roads! It's cause it wasn't a Levi brand shirt! LOL! How did you get invited? L.A is a not worth buying a place like that GiV. Why do your fellow Germans celebrate with _NO_ MUSIC? (I knew something was off during "ketchup" scene!...No Scorpions!!) Hey, GiV! What a great way to start a new year! I saw _TONS_ a stuff I never saw before! And thanks for allowing
