For an English reader, it's easy to mis-read that as 'Goods - expedition'. And to us, 'Gods' means something - very different.

I also could not find a Welcome to Hell sign, at least not an official one, but I did find this:

Hehe:) It's also very odd when that "ekspedisjon" is spelled "expedition" like in Swedish. Oh. Now I get nervous...

According to Wikipedia: "Hell is a locale in Riverside County, California, United States, approximately 29 miles west of Blythe on Interstate 10."



Hey Vic, is that near your?

"Hell was abandoned in the late 1950s or early 1960s when it was isolated by the construction of U.S. Route 60 and U.S. 70. Its remains were demolished and burned by the California State Division of Highways in late 1964 to make way for what would eventually become Interstate 10. Before its demise, Hell had a service station, a beer tavern, and a good supply of drinking water."

On October 17, 1958, The Los Angeles Times published an article, LA's Hotter Than Hell--Only 97 There, when Los Angeles reached 104 degrees the same day.

No I just live in the Wilderness, the closest to Hell now is Death Valley which is up the freeway and then turn left at Baker.

Riverside County is the other way from here, so I'm between Hell & Death.

A music teacher wrote a song about dealing with the virus and online teaching.
Turn the sound on (or up) and enjoy.

Amazon Prime and an EBT card, it's quite entertaining.

StarTrek Deep Space Nine is available there.
