Sometimes I wonder if travel-oriented websites get their ideas for articles from my blog.

On January 2, RV Life posted an article on General George S. Patton's Desert Training Center in the deserts of California and Arizona. I had just returned from there on December 28 and blogged about the trip. The trip included a visit to the Gen. Patton Memorial Museum at Chiriaco Summit on Interstate 10. The article also mentioned the museum.

Included in the article is a photo of a monument commemorating the 36th Evacuation Hospital that was placed by the Billy Holcomb Chapter of E Clampus Vitus.

The article begins with:

In our previous entries, we have been exploring forgotten sites along California’s Interstate 10 in the Mojave Desert. If you love touching history and walking in the footsteps of those who made it, you will also want to be aware that I-10 cuts right through portions of General Patton’s WWII Desert Training Center.

If one is a World War II history buff and have a fondness for exploring places in a RV, the article should pique their interest.
