Joshua Park Tin Town & Art CommunityTwentynine Palms, CA
I guess one could say there is something to do in Twentynine Palms, if the stores were open. This little park is just around the corner from where I am camped out in my RV waiting for the repairs to be done. Apparently this area had a mine and equipment from the mine is scattered all around this place. Sidewalks are wooden boards, tin roofs on all the buildings.
Twentynine Palms is also noted for the painted murals around town. No exception here! This depicts a miner coming out of a mine. I will try to get more pictures tomorrow.
I don't know what this store sells. A sign above the door notes "Belle Star". There is also a cafe here that I was told was the best eating place in town. All home cooked meals. I am going to give it a try tomorrow as they were also closed today (and every Monday). Note the tin roof.
I ventured out on the local bus today. $3 for a senior pass and one can ride it all day. I went to Yucca Valley to the only WalMart around. It was small as was the JC Penney's and Fashion Bug. It took about an hour for the approximate 30 mile trip. The bus stopped at the local hospital, community college and a grocery store. Lots of handicapped individuals rode it. I had a nice time although I didn't get my hair cut as I was hoping. There is always tomorrow.
It is still 106 degrees during the day. Amye got the tires on the 'Tilton Hilton today. Joan has to go back to the VW dealer to have the clutch and compressor changed out in The Happy Turtle.The Road Runner is missing her pals! Soon....soon..... they will all be together again.

Nice pics, Mom. I never saw that place during any of our visits to 29. But I do remember all of the murals.
