Dinosaurs At Dawn

Midnight or actually just after 12:17 am and I was finally ready to drive 475 miles to Anaheim. I set the trip meter and fastened my seatbelt. My first stop would be the gas station to fill up on fuel and drink a Red Bull. If I didn’t make too many stops I could make the trip in 7.5 hours.

Ever since I was a kid when passing through this area my parents would always stop so we could see the dinosaurs in the middle of the desert.

It was nearly 6 am as I approached the Coachella Valley. I decided to stop and photograph the dinos because I had never seen them at dawn. If you’ve ever seen the 80’s movie Pee Wee’s Big Adventure Mr. Rex might look familiar or if you’ve ever played the video game Fallout then you may notice that this is Boone’s sniper spot.
