Love Signs

Three quirky two-sided signs dot the desert landscape and showcase the word "Love" written in 6 different languages. Just 9 miles east of Twentynine Palms on Highway 62, and only a couple minutes down the road from the Glass Outhouse Gallery, this colorful art installation is a great photo opportunity while traveling in the Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms area.

These signs will definitely catch your eye while you're driving down Highway 62. Pull over and take some pics and try to figure out what languages they are! Hint: Each sign says "love"

This is a very nice museum dedicated to the history of 29 Palms. They moved the old school house to this location across the street from the Art Gallery.
