Desert Bar

We have been to the Desert Bar before but it is always a fun thing to do when you are taking someone who has never been before.  My son Terry came to visit us this weekend, so a trip to the Desert Bar was on the schedule. 
A little history….its real name in Nellie E Saloon named for the old mine that used to be on the property.  This bar is only open on weekends and only in the winter months.  Usually from October to May.  The reason for this is that this bar is totally run off solar power.  IMG_1082


See the solar panels on the roof of the building.  The tower in the picture is a cooling tower.  That’s a big swamp cooler on the top and the air comes down the tower.

This bar is 5 miles from the main road.  You are on a dirt road for that time.  It’s a very dusty drive but we had a good time.
