Southern California
Weird Tourist Attractions and Roadside Oddities
There’s lots of weird and unusual tourist attractions in Southern California!
A favorite of mine is the
Oasis Camel Dairy.
It is the only camel dairy in the U.S. They make great smelling soaps out of camel milk!
For a breakfast that's a bit different, the ribs at the
Lookout Roadhouse
in Lake Elsinore is at the top of my list. Delicious melt-in-your-mouth oak-smoked ribs. For breakfast! Whooooeeee!!!
And hanging bridges
... When was the last time you walked across a swaying suspension bridge?
Or how about an old wooden one with trestles like a railroad bridge under it?
San Diego
has both of these. And a lot of other neat attractions, too. Some weird, some not so weird. But all different!
