Okay, here I sit, reviewing a road with a very peculiar name. I grew up in the southern California…read moredesert just north of Joshua Tree, and this sign is one that has always caught my attention while traveling to Vegas. I've actually watched a show that talked about the history of it, but I won't go into that in this review. I'm simply going to give this sign, and road for that matter, a 5 star rating. The name "Zzyzx" is certainly one that turn heads and has gained more popularity over the years due to the amazing thing called social media. As a child driving in the back seat of my parent's station wagon, I never would have thought to take a picture with this sign. But it actually makes me happy to see that so many people take the same liking to it as I always have. If you are traveling on Interstate 15 between Barstow and Las Vegas and see this sign, which you will, do yourself a favor. Pull over, get out of your vehicle, and snap a picture in front of it. Everyone should have at least one picture with the now famous Zzyzx sign.

I recently stopped by the World's Tallest Thermometer on my way to Las Vegas and it turned out to…read morebe a quick fun and memorable roadside attraction during a desert drive. You can spot it from far away along the highway, and seeing it up close is actually pretty impressive as you have to tilt your head way back. My friends told me this was a site to visit as this thermometer stands over 100 feet tall! There's easy parking, and it's a convenient stop to stretch your legs, take photos, and rest a bit.

To find this hidden gem, take I-15 to Zzyx Road in the Southeastern direction (the wrong side of the highway deadends after about 1/4 mile, so don't worry). Keep driving, even when the pavement briefly ends after 4 miles or so. You'll see a weird Gilligans Island-style oasis creep up over the horizon. And bam, you're there! Try to go during the cooler months -- it can get up to 130F in the summer. All those abandoned buildings are a dream for photogs!

Like I said in my tip, don't come in with any expectations…read more I'm one of those people who truly believe that your mindset will determine your experience. Yes, the base is extremely isolated, if you don't already know that then now you know. You either deal with what you have on post or you drive down the Fort Irwin Road speedway to get to where you need to go. We always opt for the latter. The schools on base are great! I can tell how much my children's teachers love teaching, especially if they're willing to make the drive out here. I've felt welcomed in their classrooms and on their campuses. The middle school sports program at Fort Irwin Middle school has been surprisingly competitive. My 6th grade daughter has played for both their volleyball and basketball team and we've loved making the drive out to watch them play at away games. The housing isn't the best we've lived in, but we've lucked out again with being placed in newer housing with less issues. I recommend for anyone PCSing over to make sure you video tape and photograph any discrepancies with your home and submit that with your list to housing. Also, invest in a ring doorbell. I haven't really had any issues with our food establishments, but then again we do more cooking at home and my kids are easy to please with the selection here. If I had to choose to eat out I'd go to Smoothie n Things and the bowling alley before anywhere else. Getting visitors on base is easy if you follow procedures. You can send in the visitor pass request early and your guests can do all the waiting at the gate without needing you to drive up to accompany them on. From what I understand they cannot clear backgrounds until they arrive, so they should expect a wait for their clearance. Want to not be a "lack for better and appropriate word" at the gate? Then dim your lights, roll down all driver's side windows, have your identification ready and be prepared to open your trunk if requested when entering the gate. Don't fight security procedures. Don't play Pokémon go? Well now's the time to start. You're either a gym rat or a Pokémon go geek. Join the darkside!
