On our way to Disneyland in Anaheim California Wednesday evening, my husband and I stopped at…read moreEddie's World. It was fairly empty inside, which is usually not the case. EddieWorld is typically buzzing with road trippers, families, and Vegas bound drivers. Jedidiah's Jerky is located inside Eddie World on Interstate 15 at Yermo. It's a must visit if you like jerky. One of the team members helped us select a few different flavors. The Jerky that Jedidiah's has is made by hand. It offers many different types of meat and flavor options including Beef (Classic), Brisket (Classic), Turkey, Buffalo, Venison, Wild Boar. Most of these options will be available for purchase by weight or prepackaged and offer bold, sweet, spicy and savory options so there is something for everyone to enjoy. It's expensive, but worth it! All of the jerky was delicious and it lasted us several days. A lot of unique flavors to choose from and the store has so many creative options. The team member assist us during the evening was fantastic! This is a great spot to stop by if you're on the way to California or Las Vegas!

I really liked: Mango Sweet and Spicy…read more Sweet and Spicy I liked: Korean BBQ Turkey The jerky here is super easy to eat. Not tough or overly chewy like some spots. It's tender and flavorful without feeling like you're fighting it the whole time. The Mango Sweet and Spicy is a little sweeter than the regular Sweet and Spicy, but still has that nice kick on the back end. If you like a bit more sweetness in your snack, that's the move. The regular Sweet and Spicy is balanced and solid all around. The Korean BBQ Turkey is really on the money flavor wise. Savory, slightly sweet, and super satisfying. Staff was great about offering samples and helping recommend different options to try, which made it easy to find what I liked. It is on the expensive side and you don't get a huge amount for the price, but it is tasty and high quality. It's a small shop inside of Eddie's World and is a no frills place.

I wandered in here today while visiting the Calico Ghost Town for the first time today. We've…read moredriven by all my life but haven't stopped until today. They have lots to look at in the store. They have candy, cowboy hats, craft sodas, and tons of other kitschy "ghost town" related items. They were on the busy side today and only had one person patiently working the register. She was nice and friendly. I purchased a wood patriotic paw sticker. I wouldn't have waited in the line but I've never seen anything like this before.

Temp 134 Gift Shop includes the World's Tallest Thermometer visible from the I-15 whIch states,…read more"Baker, CA Gateway to Death Valley": "Willis Herron was a Baker businessman who spent $700,000 to build the thermometer in 1991 next to his Bun Boy restaurant. Its height--134 feet--was in honor of the 134-degree record temperature set in nearby Death Valley on July 10, 1913 Mrs. Herron & the family of Willis Herron, who died in 2007, recovered ownership of the property in 2014 and stated their intention to make it operational again. The official re-lighting took place on July 10, 2014." Everytime I went to Las Vegas the tall  thermometer faithfully greeted, informed me of the temperature & being on the last leg of my trip to Sin City.  However, I kept blowing it by until this trip after I chowing down massive tasting menus and wine pairings at Guy Savoy and Jöel Robuchon, I needed to actually stop in Baker for a fast food break at the Mad Greek to balance out the ying with the yang.  Took massive amounts of photos of this iconic landmark and felt obliged to purchase a souvenir to help light the Thermometer for even one minute worth of electricity. Friendly, young man was a great raconteur full of informative stories about the Herrons and the Thermometer. He was a great docent in a gift shop that actually was more like a museum for the town of Baker.  Apparently, the owner of Alien Jerky tried to buy this property and then tear down the Thermometer!!!  Wow!  The Bun Boy restaurant was succeeded by a Korean BBQ concern that gave the Mad Greek a run for its money, but went out of business w/ the Corona Virus Covid Pandemic of 2020 and still remains empty.  There is a portrait of Mr. & Mrs. Herron w/ a table of tribute offerings to honor the creator of Baker's landmark. I got a refrigerator magnet that has a real workIng alcohol thermometer which does not depend on electricity for pollution free operation.  The shop is immaculately clean & bright.  There are souvenir t-shirts, baseball caps, books, drinks to keep hydrated on sale. Also, Baltimore Shaved Ice for those unbearable, hot drives thru the desert.  Totally cool gift shop.   Don't forget to see the cast iron frying pan outside to see if an egg can be fried under the scorching desert summer sun.....And it turns out to be fake plastic eggs.   5 stars for honoring a big landmark in a very small town.

We decided on a Sunday evening to drive into the Village and treat ourselves to some ice cream--and…read moreapparently half of Big Bear had the same idea! The line moved quickly, and it was well worth the wait. We ordered a two-scoop waffle cone, which was absolutely humongous and incredibly delicious. The portions were generous, the ice cream was rich and flavorful, and there were so many tempting flavors to choose from that making a decision was the hardest part. The staff was friendly and efficient, the prices were reasonable, and the lively atmosphere added to the fun. It was the perfect way to end a relaxing day in the mountains. We'll definitely be back for another scoop (or two!) the next time we visit Big Bear.

Pros: * Nice enough staff. Not friendly, but when we came back for our return due to the stale flavor of the dark chocolate toffee caramel apple, she did it. * Cute store Cons: * Stale chocolate. I thought is was the toffee bits, but when I returned it and got the Dark Chocolate caramel apple it was still stale. I tried a tiny bite of apple and caramel and it was good. For sure, it's the chocolate. Not good. Especially considering how many chocolates they sell. I had already returned the first apple and it was busy. I was over it and just took the loss and threw away the apple. Extra: * Small shop. I dont recommend big parties or strollers * They are named for ice cream and fudge so maybe those are good. I cant say.

I'm a sucker for a good pop shop, so when I saw that Lake Arrowhead had a Rocket Fizz location I…read moregot pretty stoked knowing what would be inside. This location is a pretty good size and is filled with literally hundreds of different flavours of pop to choose from, as well as candy, random toys, and a variety of other random crap to scratch an itch you don't even know you have. After making my way through the store I managed to pick up both a grass flavoured pop as well as a some fruity type one that I drank right away and enjoyed very, very much. I drank the grass pop the following day when it was cold and it was a super odd taste to say the least. Good? I sure think so. Overall, Rocket Fizz was a fun shop to stroll through and definitely a place I'll return to on future trips to Lake Arrowhead. The best part? This place is always going to be full of new flavours!

We were asked if he was a service dog and when we said yes she told us that he needed a vest (despite legally, no you don't) and that she would get in trouble if her boss came in and saw us. We told her they have a sign on the door saying dogs were welcomed anyways and she said that's only small dogs that can be carried, ignoring the fact he's a service dog once again. She then followed us around the store asking about him and criticized him when we told her his name because "that's a girls name" (literally who cares). She kept commenting on the lack of vest and she was actively trying to distract him while he was working, which is very illegal. We just felt some unwelcomed and uncomfortable that we just left. This whole experience left a horrid taste in our mouths.
