The Desert Bar

Today, the members of the 'Class of 2008' took a field trip. We went out to The Desert Bar. To get to this place, we drove to Parker, Arizona. We then turned and drove about 5 miles on this very narrow dirt road to get to this bar. But it was well worth the trip. This bar is only opened on Saturday and Sunday and only from noon til sundown because it is totally solar powered. The bar is built on an old copper mine site.


The tall structure is a cooling tower. They work similar to swamp coolers without the fan. When you wet the pads on top, the cool air falls and creates cool airflow.

Hot water tank!!


Another use of horse shoes. Desert sculpture!!



Our crazy group!!



It was a fun day. You can read more about this unique place on their web page..thedesertbar.com.
