I thought there might be an insane clown in there or something... I can only imagine how it smelt...<br /><br />California Girl - These are just a few of the awesome things to see around Palm Springs. I love that area.<br /><br />Leovi - I wished there had been a few more people there that day.<br /><br />Pam - Thanks Pam! I'm having a great weekend right now. We're are up in the mountains again (different ones). It'a a beautiful place. Right now I'm bogarding somebody else's internet signal right now. Even my phone is dead. <br /><br />Ms. Becky - Thanks! Sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find everything. Thanks and have a good week!<br /><br />Carol - I'm thinking they would have scared a couple of my kids when they were young. A couple others would act like they knew they were fake and aren't afraid of anything!<br /><br />Michelle - Nah! I've seen them MANY times, just never stopped. Girl, I'm not even FROM California...<br /><br />M.D. - Wow! I'm going to look into this. Did you live in BC when you were young?<br /><br />Rosemary - I agree! We spend a lot of time in the desert. That's kind of odd because where we live the weather is so mild all year. The only other place in your list that I agree with is Japan. I've been there several times and am obsessed with it. If I was a younger person, I'd be living there. If, I could get in that is...<br /><br />Carly - It's a very cool place to visit. Summer is the "off" season there. It's much too hot.

It might have been there when I was a kid, but I'm not sure.<br /><br />Baby Sister - They buy a ticket and are never seen again...<br /><br />Rita - I' sure you'd like it also, even if just for the oddness of it. I'll never go again, but I'm glad I went.<br /><br />Wayne - I love the also, that's why we spend so much time in the desert. <br /><br />Icy - They were a bit scary!<br /><br />Talli - They don't belong in the desert, but I can't think of anywhere that they belong in more.<br /><br />Betty - Thanks Betty! Lot's of desert to love...<br /><br />#1Nana - I love the desert so much that I can't wait until it cools off again there, this year.<br /><br />Tom - My pleasure! I'd say it's worth the time spent to check it them out. Oh yeah! I remember loving date shakes as a kid, but they don't do so much for me now.

They don't bring in much money, but it doesn't cost much to run.<br /><br />Pam - I thing so also. I'm not sure what they eat though!<br /><br />Ren - Thanks! I agree, the weirdness is one of the reasons I love the desert. You are right about how things don't really change, but do... I think these dinos (or an earlier version of the) were here when I was much younger.<br /><br />TexWisGirl - It was kind of fun. I'm not sure how much fun it was for the one guy working there though.<br /><br />Sylvia - Thanks Sylvia! I'm glad you appreciate the words also. I guess I could give some more accurate historical information, but what fun would that be?<br /><br />Brian - Thanks Brian! They all look hungry. Maybe for catosauris...<br /><br />Kay - Yep! I seem to remember when it was only one or two also.<br /><br />Warren - You may be right! And now the poor guy is petrified...<br /><br />Leovi - Thanks Leovi! There were kind of realistic.

When I was a kid there was a dinosaur park near where I lived and it was my favourite place in the whole world. My mother tells me that when my kindergarten class visited the park I knew all the names of the dinosaurs and became the impromptu tour guide.<br /><br />The dinosaurs were all sold off years ago after the owner died, but these ones have an eerily familiar look. Maybe this is their final resting place?M. D.
