Did you know?

The Country Store in Baker has sold more winning California State Lottery tickets than any outlet in the state?


Hmmm....interesting. Being that is the last pit stop before you reach the Nevada border on the way to Vegas, or the first pit stop in California leaving Nevada. So, the lesson here is buy a lotto ticket in Baker on your way to Vegas, just in case you have a losing streak there, cuz the odds of winning the lotto in Baker might be better.



Baker is also the home of the World's tallest thermometer and Alien Fresh Jerky. Just writing about Baker, I'm wanting to take a road trip. I love that stuff like this is in seemingly the middle of nowhere. Yet, so many people are there just passing through.

It's been a while since I drove to Las Vegas. I usually jump on a Southwest flight and I'm there in an hour. Although, if you look out the window from the plane you'll notice the captain will usually start his descent into Vegas just after passing over Baker. Sit on the right side of the plane and you can see the tiny little town. (although, the worlds largest thermometer is not visible from the air)



Here is the link to the Baker Chamber of Commerce. Next time you head out the 15 northbound. Stop at Alien Fresh Jerky, get a snack, go to the Country store, DEFINATELY buy a lotto ticket, then take a gander at the Worlds Largest Thermometer.
