View from Mesquite Dunes

Across Hwy 190 there are these large black mountains, dry, no grass, no bush, just nothing. While on this side the sand is soft and warm, bushes have leaves, and people enjoy their hikes.

Rhyolite School House

Can you imagine the little kids running around in this school house, looking out the windows into the valley on the other side. Wikipedia says, this town was started in 1905 by two men searching for gold. It became a town of 1,200 people in two weeks and reached a population of 2,500 by June 1905. By then it had 50 saloons, 35 gambling tables, cribs for prostitution, 19 lodging houses, 16 restaurants, half a dozen barbers, a public bath house, and a weekly newspaper. One can say, they were "busy beavers"!

Rhyolite Town Center

Looks like this is where the action was. They even had three story buildings. By 1907, Rhyolite had electric lights, water mains, telephones, newspapers, a hospital, a school, an opera house, 50 saloons and a stock exchange. After a few years the ore and gold was finished and people started leaving, only a few stayed behind, until it was declared a Ghost town in 1920.

Oceanside Beach Sunset

Most of the sunsets in Southern California look like this: a beautiful blue sky, a few little clouds, and a brilliantly bright sun. This is in Oceanside, which is about an hour North of San Diego. Behind this beach is a gorgeous little harbor with RV parking and camping.

Sunset Oceanside 3

The sun shining through the bike stand attracted my attention. The rays curl directly around it. In the distance some people made a little fire. The beach is amazingly empty and the Pacific is calm. What a wonderful evening!

Sunset at Oceanside

This scene reminded me of the "Calm behind the Storm". During the day the beach is crowded and the playground is constantly occupied by happy little children. But now it's quiet, even the huge Pacific Ocean is taking time out. Oceanside is an hour North of San Diego in California along the famous Hwy 1 and Interstate 5.
