I mean, ribo's usually on point but.... Oklahoma, half of Texas, Nebraska, most

West Texas is just like NM. Nebraska has some great areas though.

You need to get up north: Taos, Santa Fe, Red River, Eagles Nest.

yes. Gallup is infinitly worse, and its in the same state. Battle mountain, NV

Needles,CA and Searchlight, NV feel like Mexico to me.

Searchlight feels like I jumped into a time machine

Most of the Mojave desert in CA is really depressing.

flavordave

1/8/19 3:43pm

Absolutely. Barstow is absolutely depressing. So is Baker.

idacoug

1/8/19 3:44pm

Those are the good parts of the Mojave Desert. You should try 29 Palms, Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley.

scall

1/8/19 3:45pm

I've never felt more depressed than when I drove through Boron, CA

flavordave

1/8/19 3:47pm

ive driven on 58 from barstow to bakersfield plenty, to include boron,

idacoug

1/8/19 3:49pm

Bad times.

flavordave

1/8/19 3:50pm

Here's the thing though. I would have given a lot to live in a city like Barstow or Bakersfield instead of 29 Palms.

scall

1/8/19 3:55pm

I grew up in Blythe, CA and I felt sorry for those living in 29 Palms

1/8/19 4:24pm

As you should have.

scall

1/8/19 4:26pm

I remember playing football in 29 Palms in 1981

1/9/19 10:51am

Even in 1996 we still played our games at the Junior High field because the High School didn't have a grass

scall

1/9/19 11:03am

I think that you mean Baker and not Bakersfield

ovalY

If my dad were here, he'd fight you about saying 29 Palms was a "good" place.

Engine of my brand new car blew out between Barstow and Baker

Hillcrest is in Gallup, my bad. I thought you were noting Farmington's cemetery

BRONCOUGAR

I went to middle school in Gallup. I concur.

29 Palms CA.

scall

1/8/19 3:43pm

29 Palms is right next to Joshua Tree National Park,

Conan

1/8/19 4:00pm

Get back to me after you have lived there. The NP is the only redeeming thing about 29 Palms.

scall

1/8/19 4:05pm

I've lived in both places.

Conan

1/8/19 4:06pm

That was fast.

Costanza

1/8/19 4:09pm

Sure was. But having lived a total of 8 years in 29 Palms including all my high school years, it is easily one

scall

I'm sorry it was such a horrible experience for you.

Umm... Ship Rock?

Years ago I was on a road trip and planned on a stop in Ship Rock for lunch

Skeptical Optimist

Drove through there a few years ago. All I remember is the number of people

scottfunkel

1/8/19 3:55pm

I refer to it as Ship Wreck. Your explanation shows why for sure.

J-Rod

Eastern NM is the worst. Portales, Clovis, etc.

cougfanblue

Bakersfield CA is the worst

Camden, NJ.

I drove into Camden back in August from Phliadelphia a while back.

flavordave

1/8/19 3:55pm

Based on what Camden should be (location) it's bad.

El Fuego

1/8/19 4:03pm

Wow... you chose a crappy place to visit in NJ lol.

jcase16byu

1/9/19 12:13pm

It was the closest place. We left quickly and ended up in Mt Royal I think.

flavordave

Yeah understood. You really need to make it to the shore. It's pretty awesome
