    I only know about Zzyzx because that's how you know you're getting close to Vegas

    In 1966, when I was 12 years old my parents stopped at Zzyzx Mineral Springs on our trip through the  Mojave to points east.  My mother often listened to the "Brother Springer" program on the radio up in Vancouver, BC, and I still can recall Curtis Springer's rather gravelly voice saying, "and thank God for the privilege."   We ate a meal at Zzyzx, went for a swim in the pool, got free glasses of "healthy" carrot juice, and went on our way.  I actually was reminded of the name all these years later when reading Michael Connelly's "Harry Bosch" novel, "The Narrows", and when I looked it up, all the memories of our day at Zzyzx came flooding back.   We actually met the man, Curtis Springer, and his wife that day, but, sadly, I don't recall much about  them, other than that we all enjoyed the visit.   Funny to hear the real story the real story of Zzyzx and Curtis Howe Springer now, after all these years.

    Visited Zzyzx with my cattle dog circa Jan. 2012. &nbsp;Very serene. &nbsp;Took some fun photos. &nbsp;Would not have much enjoyed the experience in the summer.<br>Across that dry salt expanse is &nbsp;Kelso., CA. &nbsp;Went on the sand dunes there. &nbsp;It&apos;s a longer climb up the dune than appears from the parking lot. &nbsp;<br>Kelso has a train depot and museum. &nbsp;<br>Great sky watching at night (if you are interested).<br><br>It&apos;s good to know that Zzyzx has a protective presence via the CA State University. ❤️<br><br>Enjoyed the video, its information, and comments from previous visitors.

    Where can I get that Zzyzx hat? I would love one! I listened to him growing up on local radio in Los Angeles. He preached natural eating, healthful ways of living &amp; the Lord! An evil man? I don’t think so. He did an awful lot of good and allowed people to stay out there for free, so much for health &amp; to help others grow in a Christian walk.
