Weird Musical Road - Mojave Desert Secret - Randomland
Out in the Mojave Desert just northwest of the city of Lancaster ("The Jewel of the Desert") sits one of the 3 wonders of America, the weird, Roadside attraction worthy Musical Road. Originally created a few miles south for a 2008 Honda Civic commercial, the road was reconstructed to a less-residential area by the city of Lancaster in an attempt to appease those who mourned the loss of the original.
Spoiler alert: It was a great success! The musical road is still alive and kicking out in the wastes of the Mojave Desert, for all of us weirdos to enjoy together!
If you're in the area, grab some friends and show them the true secret of the desert, the musical road!
