January 12, 2008 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Pioneertown, San Bernardino County, California Pioneertown is located in the Mojave Desert 4 miles north of Yucca Valley in San Bernardino County, California   Vi havde mod på en køretur i det gode vejr, så vi tøffede afsted til Pioneertown, som ligger i Mojaveørkenen. We were up for a drive in the nice weather, so we set off for Pioneertown in the Mojave Desert.     Pioneertown ligner en spøgelsesby, og er det på sin vis også. Men selvom det ligner en mineby fra 1870erne er det i virkeligheden en by, der blev bygget af Hollywood i 1946, så der kunne optages cowboyfilm her. Pioneertown looks like a ghost town, and rightfully I suppose it is. But although it looks like a mining town from the 1870s, this town was actually built by Hollywood in 1946 for the express purpose of filming westerns here.     The Jack Cass Saloon         Landhandelen ~ The Mercantile

I modsætning til andre spøgelsesbyer, har Pioneertown en lydscene. In contrast to other ghost towns Pioneertown has its own sound stage.     Roy Rogers trillede den første bowlingbold ned ad bowlingbanen. Roy Rogers rolled the first bowling ball down the bowling alley.

Day Camping/Boondocking Information Pioneertown is a good spot for day camping. We didn't stay overnight, but there is a large dirt lot next to Pappy & Harriet's and I would be surprised if anyone would mind a discreet boondocker staying there.
