Rice Shoe Fence

[Desert Whaler]

Took this a year or so ago on a potty-break w/ Pops.
He'd never seen it before and laughed.

The fence and old gas station didn't really have much in the shoe regard until the shoetree a bit east of there was burned down.....twice.
The fence was more about panties and bras.

If you have time to waste, some history on the town.

Rice, Cal — Cali49

I’d just finished exploring Desert Center and was on my way to see what I could find in Rice. It would be a 50-mile drive, and would take about 30 minutes to get there, unless I saw something interesting along the way. I made it to Rice in 30 minutes. Not to say that there aren’t interest

A friend of mine had friends whose family purchased one of the WWII "quonset" hut buildings that was in Rice in the early 50s and moved it onto property on Havasu Landing, not very far from where the new casino is now. When the tribe kicked out all the land leasees(~15 yrs ago) there, it was one of the casualties. Three generations of family had their memories erased essentially.

I think gigamurph lived in Desert Center. Nobody's lived in Rice since the '40s. When the Gas Station was still open, my folks would supply them with touristy trinkets to sell. Stuff like Blue-Jean style coffee cups and the other crap you see in every stop in the desert. I'd drive out there to re-stock the stuff and collect payment every couple of weeks. This was around '87 or so.

Wassup?

It's been many a Blue Moon since I visited and you guys haven't changed the secret knock? Don't ask me to give the secret handshake because I'm having a hard enough time remembering where it is I'm at,

I remember the gas station in the late 70's.
