    Hey D,
    Thanks for that great link and story. There are plenty of places of roadside stop overs along the major highways. This one should be a stop for all of us to relive some automotive history, off the beaten path. We have been by that section of the highway plenty of times, going East and West. We had friends in Indio and my wife want to recreate the numerous trips she took with her family to the Salton Sea area, back in 1957-59. So, it is definitely on our itinerary very soon.

    We will definitely stop at the place, the next time we are on a road trip to that region. A Joshua Tree National Park is also on the books, so it is a major stop at Chiriaco Summit before going to the National Park. Even if we just go to the Salton Sea for some family memories, our friends have told us to take the Box Canyon Drive to Chiriaco Summit from the Salton Sea area. It is based on weather conditions as the road gets washed out fast in the rains and flooding. It has been rebuilt and is one great desert drives to end up in Chiriaco Summit and Highway 10.

    Thanks, now that has given us a push to pick out a time for a nice road trip to old memories and new places.
