I think this unincorporated community in San Bernadino County- Parker Junction- probably counts as the smallest place on this site. I only found out the name from looking on the map. It's actually just a RV park, situated east of Needles Airport, where US-95 and either 5 Mile Rd or National Old Trails Rd (depending on which map you look at) intersect. It's east of I-40, about 5.5 miles south of Needles. In terms of places you might know, Barstow is 150 miles to the west, and Lake Havasu is 30 miles to the southeast. So, the middle of nowhere!
The RV park was home to a couple of interesting lights, though. Firstly this one- it's a rare Westinghouse OV-14B which is usually found in Canada but there are one or two to be seen in the US.
A Silverliner in rather good condition, too...
Lastly, it's been asked if GE are offering any CFL versions of their range, well, here's one answer! This poor fixture has had its lens and guts ripped out, and a reflector from one of those clip- lights fitted, along with a domestic CFL. Quite a neat job, though, with the galvanised mounting plate!
