Hell's Half Acre

It was a good place to stretch road-weary legs, browse the souvenir shop for tacky trinkets, use the restroom, buy a snack or eat a meal. The restaurant is long gone, and the site that once drew crowds is barely noticed by the passing motorists.

I never saw that movie, but the landscape does look like it could be on a different planet.
ReplyDeleteHow sad that the restaurant is no longer there. Would have been great to do that.
ReplyDeleteI love TACKY trinkets.. Perfectly put
ReplyDeleteA really good post on Hell's Half Acre. It's true, now that the souvenir shop and other buildings are gone, I don't even look that direction as I pass it by.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is some rugged landscape!
ReplyDeleteI trekked through many extreme mountains, but nothing like Hell's Half Acre!! It is beautiful and scary at the same time!
ReplyDeleteInteresting...now that restaurant would of been on list to stop at!!
ReplyDeleteStunning. I'm no sci-fi fan, so I don't get that reference, but it's quite impressive, and I bet it was lovely from the restaurant. Pity it's gone.
ReplyDeleteChuckling! Always something to see on your blog. Have you done any sewing?
ReplyDeleteIt was also the location of the ending of the 1984 John Carpenter movie "Starman" with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen. I have stopped there but not for years. Sad that everything is closed. Are the buildings still there or torn down?
ReplyDeleteI love exploring those interesting natural features as we travel. Will have to add this one to my list. We are hoping to do another trip out west sometime in the near future.
ReplyDeleteInteresting? Has the landscape changed much since 1976...besides the missing buildings?
