Pentagonal Brewing

I spent my evening working through Pentagonal Brewing's tap list. Thankfully, they offer 4 ounce tasters. I sampled most of the beers and a few of "the best" carne asada tacos from Tacos Alex.

These are remains of a plank road that was built in 1915 to run through the Algodones Dunes as part of a highway connecting Yuma and San Diego. The road was only one lane wide and provided a rough ride. Work crews fought the elements for 10 years to keep the road open before the road was replaced with a concrete road built on top of a sand embankment.

My visit was short (and my photos fuzzy) because the setting sun was taking away my light.

Center of the World

A pyramid in the desert. What's unusual about that?

This pyramid marks a spot that local resident and founder of the town of Felicity (named after his wife) Jacques-Andre Istel has proclaimed to be the Center of the World. He even wrote a book about the spot, and convinced the county to declare the spot to be the center of the world.
