World's Tallest Thermometer For Sale
The world's tallest thermometer is up for sale.
You have a shot at owning a one-of-a-kind landmark in California. Residing in Baker is The World's Tallest Thermometer.
Resting roadside along Interstate 15, the 134-foot-high thermometer is currently on the market for $1.75 million. Although it once served as an iconic landmark in the area, some residents seem to think of the tower-resembling structure as an eyesore.
Nevertheless, the realtor managing the sale states All someone has to do is go in there and fix it up the right way.The thermometer tower contains a vacant shop at the base and an accompanying 4-acre section of land is included in the price.
Thus far, several billboard companies have shown interest, wanting to convert the thermometer into an LED sign.
Last year, another icon was put up for sale.
The Department of Transportation in Alaska put the historic Brotherhood Bridge on the market. The structure measures 319 feet long and 30 feet wide.
The bridge was initially placed over the Mendenhall River to accommodate traffic on Glacier Highway. The overpass was designed for the Alaska Native Brotherhood's 50th anniversary.

From Wikipedia
Baker's economy is based primarily on tourism. The town is frequently used as a rest stop by drivers on Interstate 15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Baker is approximately 90 miles (144.8 km) southwest of Las Vegas. It is the last town for those traveling on SR 127 north to Death Valley National Park or south to the Mojave National Preserve. Currently there's only one motel run in Baker, the Wills Fargo Motel.
The town's most prominent feature is a 134-foot (41m) thermometer, known as the world's tallest thermometer, visible for miles. It is located at the Big Boy restaurant, and as of 2012 is not operational. Its height commemorates the hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States, 134 °F (56.7 °C), measured in nearby Death Valley in 1913.[6] Summer temperatures in Baker routinely exceed 110 °F (43.3 °C); 2007 saw a record of 125 °F (51.7 °C). In recent years Baker has experienced hard times,[6] with casinos just across the Nevada border at Primm and Jean, Nevada taking much of its motel trade[citation needed]. The prices of gasoline are cheaper at the west end than at the east end, where most travelers first come to.
Baker is also the start of the annual Baker To Vegas Challenge Cup Relay race
The Mars Laboratory Science Team tested an engineering model of the Curiosity Rover in the desert near Baker
Dumont Dunes Off-Highway Vehicle Area [3], a popular area for ATV riders. Weekly and Annual passes can purchased online at Dumont Dunes Permits.
Just a few miles to the west along I-15 lies the exit for Zzyzx Road. This dirt road leads to Soda Springs, the site of the health resort established by Curtis Springer in the late 1940s and now the Desert Study Center maintained by California State University.
A yearly race is held called The Challenge Cup Relay: Baker to Vegas or commonly referred as Baker to Vegas where law enforcement do a relay race from Baker, CA to Las Vegas, NV. It attracts law enforcement agencies including LAPD, national, and international agencies to participate annually. [9]
Baker was founded as a station on the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad in 1908, and was named after Richard C. Baker, business partner of Francis Marion Smith in building the railroad.
Baker is located in the Mojave Desert at the junction of Interstate 15 and SR 127 (Death Valley Road).

I made this trip in March, 2016. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera, mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

Driving west bound into Baker, California. It is about halfway between Las Vegas and Barstow on the barren I-15 beside the Mojave National Preserve. If you are low on gas, get some here. It has a 134 foot tall thermometer that you can see from the highway.
Worlds largest thermometer!

California's Death Valley Driven - YouTube
California's Death Valley is a monster, it's inhospitable, dry, hot and if you got lost in it, it could be deadly in a very short time. But it is also more beautiful than words could describe. The rock formations and colors leave you breathless every which way you look and even in this harsh environment nature has found a way to survive. From plants to creatures, if you take the time you will find them.
