NELLIE E. SALOON, THE DESERT BAR

View from behind the Blue Water Casino in Parker on the Colorado River
Rachel, David and Teri at the Desert Bar, Nellie E. Saloon.

The Nellie E. Saloon is situated it he Buckskin Mountains, on land that was an old mining camp.

It's a strange place, 5 miles off the main road on a rough, high, narrow, twisting gravel road. When you finally arrive at the "bar" you are amazed to see hundreds of people there.

Parking lot at the Desert Bar


George finds his dream ride in the parking lot.



Church facade made of solid steel. (Paul's kind of church)

Lots of antique farm equipment and vehicles litter the road and parking lot.

The bar was cool.
Paul and George making friends of strangers. It was cool and rainy outside, so the inside fireplace felt great.


Nice lady poses with George.
Paul and his new friend.


Paul heads for the wierd metal church.



OK we won't.

Teri is a rose between 2 thorns.
Being the shortest (no surprise there) Mary rides in the back of the Jeep.

A truly "wet" bar.
