"Desert Lake" Desert Lake by Yaqui

Desert Lake Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 3 photos

Desert Lakes has its own stark desert charm. I surmise it sprang up as a little settlement due to the railroad, base, or borate mines. Many people live here because one its inexpensive and usually the other because it's quiet and safe. Many just love the dry desert climate, while others just settled here due to being retired from the military or the Boron mines. I wanted to add this to keep some of it's own identity.

Pros and Cons

In a nutshell:Stark desert charm!

Thank you, Yaqui, about your friendly words in my Oatman pages. And do you know what, it was a huge coincidence, I was (again, prob 7th time) watching Erin Brockovics -movie and Erin accommodated in this very Motel. I game to google the motel and at the same time you rated me at the same time :) Wow!

Btw, it's Desert Lake Motel in the movie, but the sign is like the same.
