Local tourism: Santa Cruz Mystery Spot
We have now joined the cult of People Who Have Gone To The Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, CA ... and we have the bumper sticker to prove it! Although there's one last spot on my Local Tourism "to do" list (the Rosicrucian Museum), I feel this is The Proof that I have made it:
My car's beat-up bumper, displaying the distinctive yellow-and-black sticker
Was it worth it? Not really - it was a small, lopsided shack served with a heap of pseudoscientific bullshit and optical illusions. At least it was pretty cheap (and we went on Memorial Day, so veterans were admitted for free).
We enjoyed our visit ... although GingerBoy was screeching unhappily through most of the tour (much like our experiences with the first spot on my Local Tourism binge, the Winchester Mystery House, where an almost-2-year-old EM Jr was breaking free at every opportunity).
