Barstow, CA

Barstow is located along Rt.15 and Rt.40 just outside of the Majave Desert. Barstow was originally founded by Barry "Bonehead" Barstow (I'm assuming that's what the founding father's name was) who was a man with great visions and dreams. "Bonehead" Barstow decided that he wanted to develop a city by taking all the best qualities of all the cities around the world - grass, flowers, water, trees, shrubbery, beauty - and throw them all out the window. Soon the city of Barstow came to be, and thus Barry "Bonehead" Barstow permanently etched his name in the annals of history, right below the founding father of Bakersfield. Seriously, though, whoever decided to settle in Barstow must have either been crazed out of their mind or just a total numbskull. The Majave Desert has more vegetation than Barstow. Anyway, it was probably 110 degrees, so we got out of there as quick as possible. Also, over 20,000 people live there, so I'm fairly certain the city doesn't contain the most mentally sound people. Honestly. Whoever would decide to live in Barstow has to have a few screws loose.
