Earp
We decided on going East out the 62 in search of warmer and dryer weather. Since we really enjoyed Tombstone we thought why not try Earp.
A short 190 miles later and Ahhhhh! It’s beautiful here!
Earp seemed to be pretty much a bust, so far it looks like the whole town is just the Oasis Mini Mart and a Post Office. They do have a life size talking Wyatt in a box, as soon as you get near it he starts talking to you. For a more intense conversation you need to insert coins. We’re going exploring next week so see if there is any more to the town.
OASIS MINI MART
ok, you got me in suspense, i still have no idea where ya at! where does hwy 62 start from? are ya near the Arizona border?
OK here is a shot of where the 62 starts!!
thanks for the pic and info. when i googled Earl CA, all that came up was PA, TX, ALA, etc. nothing for CA. i did find 62 on my Thomas Bros Guide map which showed me 62 coming out of 29 Palms. when i lived in Lucerne Valley, i explored all over that area–29 Palms, Joshua Tree, Morongo Valley, even Palm Springs. ya gotta love the desert to see the beauty there;.
EarP !! as in Wyatt
if you looked, i told how i found Earp on FB (oops, i just this second realized my “bad”)i was mispelling the word/name. no wonder i couldnt find it via google. but i did find it on my Rand McNally map of CA, as i explained on FB. thanks for the correction.
