  1. Hi Mike,

    I was born in El Centro in 1959, moved to San Diego County around 1964 or so. Both sets of Grandparents lived in Imperial Valley so we must have made the trip between San Diego and El Centro at least a hundred times for holidays and visits. We passed the Desert View Tower a zillion times before mom convinced dad that we should stop and see it – probably about 1969ish. I remember the view from the top. Also, for some reason, I remember a North Vietnam flag and 122mm rocket captured in the war. There was a picture of the World’s Tallest Man and one of his gigantic shoes on display that have stuck with me all these years. Thanks for the memory and the reminder of the “moonscape boulders” going up the highway to San Diego.

    1. Hey Dan, thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your experience. I can’t tell you how many times I too passed it up before stopping for the first time. Neat area to explore. All the best, Mike

  2. I keep meaning to stop by here as I drive by once in a while, after reading this I think I will make a point of it next time.
