The Desert Bar

Carol and Roger are here also and we've been playing cards and lunching at La Mesa RV where we bought last year.Today they took us to the most amazing place today. It’s the Nellie E. Saloon but known to all, as the desert bar. You go up the Ehrenberg to Parker road and take a gravel/rock road, with a sign saying Primitive Road, for about 5 miles winding into the hills where this establishment is carved out of the terrain on 7 different levels. You go in through 2 little mountains with a 1927 Olds car ahead and the church spire in the background. There is no power, just solar and generator. The dune buggy and ATM crowd also pull in. It’s open from high noon to sundown Sat and Sun and there must have been 400 people there having hamburgers, hot dogs or chili, listening to the band. Here's where we sat, next to the dance floor and the band with the mountains and blue sky behind them. It was very entertaining. The church has a 6 x 6 entry, where we're standing and the sides are only 4 inches thick, a facade.
