Below are a few photos taken out the window of the two
RV Gypsies' RV as they drove from California to Nevada on August 5, 2012,
plus a few photos of the Oasis RV Resort. Below those photos there is
a sub-menu for Red Rock Canyon, Red Springs, and a few photos from around
Las Vegas, Terry Fator, and the Valley of Fire. So please scroll all the
way down this page (and every page) and enjoy. Because there are many
other travel options at the bottom of this and every page.
The two RV Gypsies saw a big temperature gauge, but they could not stop
because they were on a highway in their RV. It is The world's tallest
thermometer and is located at 72157 Baker Boulevard in Baker, California.
It is visible from three different angles along Interstate 15 in Southern
California's Mojave Desert. A gift shop at the base of the thermometer
stands near a commemorative plaque that describes the history of the site.
The World's Tallest Thermometer is a landmark in Baker, California. It
is a steel electric sign that commemorates the weather record of 134 °F
recorded in nearby Death Valley on July 10, 1913.
The sign weighs 76,812 pounds and is held together by 125 cubic yards
of concrete. It stands 134 feet tall and is capable of displaying a maximum
temperature of 134 °F, which is a reference to the temperature record
in Death Valley on July 10, 1913, according to history.
The two RV Gypsies have driven past this several times, but have never
stopped at the Gift Shop. Shame on them, especially since their Christmas
tree is a travel tree with unusual things from places they have been!
Karen Duquette would love to have a giant thermometer on her annual travel
tree. |
