Slab City is, umm, different. Very different. Kind of like me. Sort of.

I don’t even know where to start. Really, I don’t. That’s partly why this post is so late in coming.

Many RVers know about Slab City, some like it, some don’t, but everyone said, ‘You have to experience it at least once.’

I asked, ‘Why? What’s the attraction?’ No one could really say why, they just said it was ‘different’.

Different.

My readers and fellow travelers have led me to some of the most interesting places so when they say I have to go somewhere, I usually go.

Plus, Me = Different.

While Slab City looks similar in some ways to scenes straight out of the Mad Max movies, it is unlike anything I’ve ever seen or experienced. I now understand why no one could muster an answer when I asked why I should go.

Rather than attempt a lengthy description, I’ll do a series of bullet-point descriptions occasionally accompanied by photos and a video. It’s that “A picture is worth a thousand words” thing. Plus, it’s easier because I’m swamped trying to get a new dinghy tow vehicle so I can get out of Dodge A.S.A.P.

For more detail about Slab City, read my two previous articles: one about the death in the hot springs, and one for Yahoo! News.

There's a pyramid in Arizona. I don't think the Egyptians built it, but what do I know.

Hadji Ali's (Hi Jolly) Monument

Crazy dinosaur marketing schemes, lighthouses, giant golf ball houses, wayward donkeys, naked bookstore owners, and now this.

A pyramid.

Arizona is probably the coolest state when it comes to unique and odd attractions. I used to think I’d have to go to Egypt or Mexico to see a pyramid, but no. Arizona has a pyramid in Quartzsite.

In 1856 the US Army decided it would be a good idea to bring camels over from the Middle East.

Our government 150 years ago? Not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, so how well do you think this worked?

To their way of thinking, the camels would better make the hot, dry trip across the desert than the horses. Ok, that almost makes sense…

But when they imported the 70 animals, they neglected to consider camels are not horses and are not trained like horses.

In case you don’t know, camels are not sweet like horses.

And the US government is still none-too-bright 150 years later, but you know that.

However, in a rare moment of lucidity, they decided to bring over from the Middle East several experienced camel drivers. One of those drivers was named Hadji Ali.

Since most Americans couldn’t pronounce the name, they just called him ‘Hi Jolly’ – the phonetic spelling of the pronunciation.

I met a naked man in Quartzsite, Arizona.

Reader's Oasis bookstore, home of the naked man, in Quartzsite, Arizona.

Everyone told me “There’s a naked man in Quartzsite, Arizona. You’ve got to go there.”

Well, duh! Of course I do.

My friends, and folks I meet on my travels, give me some of the best tips. I love you people!

They were right, as usual; he was naked except for a hat, a necklace, and a small crocheted “sock” over his privates. (‘small’ is not a comment on the size of anything other than the sock)

I think there is a little satin bow on it, but I couldn’t look that closely without being accused of staring.

No, NO. On the sock.

Sheesh, I really have conditioned you all to go to the dark side first, haven’t I?

You’re welcome.

He shaves.

No, not his beard. (TMI? Sorry.)

The “sock” was held up by fishing line.

Nothing covered his back side. Don’t stop now! Continue reading I met a naked man in Quartzsite, Arizona.

Flying saucers, people living in a giant golf ball, praying to the God of Golf, and giant animal statues. Also? Beware of donkeys.

A "UFO" at Area 66

A bit of randomness from western Arizona…

The infamous Area 51 is in Arizona, a state where many people claim to have seen UFOs.

I’ve met some of them. The people, not the UFOs.

One told me there is a local support group for alien abductees.

Huh? (I looked, but I could not find a link to the meetings.)

To capitalize on the alien folklore by simultaneously combining themes from Area 51 and nearby Route 66, some enterprising folks came up with Area 66.

It’s in a town called Yucca. Yes, it is.

A "UFO" at Area 66

A "UFO" at Area 66. It's just landing, and in a minute the green VW Bug will be flattened.

The woman running the small convenience store at Area 66 has seen UFO-type lights. She seems completely sane. Probably because she considers they were most likely aircraft from the nearby military facility.

However, the guy who insisted on building the above flying saucer for Area 66 claims to have been abducted by aliens.

Okay.

The Best Date I've Had Since I Joined Match.com

After spending a couple hours getting to know each other, I was ready.

Really ready.

I’ve waited a long time for this moment.

Too long.

Taking my time, I slowly warmed her up. Pushing all the right buttons, her fine motor began purring beneath me. I wrapped my hands around her, slowly stroking her, discovering the feel of her, getting to know her better.

She had unexpected strength and power, but she gave over full control to me, completely trusting me. Not one to hold back, she gave me as much as I wanted, as much as I could take.

I wanted all of her, and I was ready to take her to the next level.

With her sweet motor purring beneath me, I Don’t stop now! Continue reading The Best Date I’ve Had Since I Joined Match.com

Go Team Couch Potatoes!

couch potato

For the first time ever, I organized one of those teams for a major walk/run event! I’m so excited. I even designed t-shirts! I do this stuff because it makes me #FURIOUSLYHAPPY . So maybe then it is all about me after all. Fine. I can live with that. No one else can, but I’m good with it and the cat doesn’t care. As team captain I get to organize people (kind of like herding cats), and pick a team name. I still can’t believe they gave me that kind of authority. In all fairness, they don’t really know me. . . . → Read More: Go Team Couch Potatoes! – UPDATED
