Hi gang. Nugget time. Check out this quirky sight we happened upon after a 20 mile drive on a hazardous drive on a desert road.
This intersection of secluded road is known as Teakettle Junction. I'll give you one guess as to why it's called that. Actually, I'll give you around a hundred guesses, as that's approximately how many teakettles are hanging on the sign at any given time. We were on our way to see the famous "sailing rocks" of Death Valley and that road I mentioned really is treacherous, full of sharp rocks and miles away from, well..., anywhere. It has become tradition for travelers to attach a teakettle to this lone wooden road sign and many have notes or messages written on them. Some even have messages written on paper and stuffed inside of them. My buddy, Steve, and I checked them out for a few minutes, grabbed a selfie, then continued onto the Racetrack Playa to find some moving rocks!
