Sightseeing
"The Integratron is located in Landers, California, 20 miles north of Joshua Tree National Park. Its creator, George Van Tassel (1910-1978), claimed that the structure is based on the design of Moses’ Tabernacle, the writings of Nikola Tesla and telepathic directions from extraterrestrials. This one-of-a-kind 38-foot high, 55-foot diameter, all wood dome was designed to be an electrostatic generator for the purpose of rejuvenation and time travel." Worth a visit, call in advance to schedule a sound bath!

Our local hospital and emergency room. Keep in mind that it is private and they do not bill out to most insurances. If you can stand a slight wait, it may be worthwhile to head down to Palm Springs so that a broken bone doesn't break the bank. Great people though!
