In the spirit of all things 'quirky' we stayed at Hicksville, a kitschy and colorful trailer park off a desert road that rents themed trailers. We stayed in the Sideshow, an old train car with a circus tent interior and old carnivalesque accoutrements including that creepy fortune telling head from the movie Big. The entire trailer was smaller than the size of my bedroom and I felt the claustrophobia setting in...
checking out the digs...
Eager to escape our tiny home we went out for drinks in Pioneertown, which used to be an old film set for western movies and now feels like a little touristy ghost town. Pappy and Harriet's is in the heart of it all, a great saloon/music venue than can either have a raucous or low key vibe depending on the night. We dance to a fun bluesy band then head to the pool tables to hustle some locals. it seems only fitting that Jen and I meet two guys visiting from NorCal named Mike and Mike. Mikes vs. Jens! They win of course, but what we lacked in skill we made up for in style.
the morning after...hangover fun in the sun
The next morning we run around like kids, exploring and trying out all of the free entertainment Hicksville had to offer: bb guns, ping pong, horseshoes, archery. Basically just being goofballs and feeling like badasses. Because nothing says badass like a girl in a pink sweater holding a bb gun.
serious fun...
