Thereof, where is zzyzx?
Zzyzx (AKA Camp Soda and Soda Springs) is located at the end of Zzyzx Road, a 4.5-mile-long rural road off Interstate 15, in San Bernadino County, California. The unicorporated community is also located within Mojave National Preserve. In its former life, it was the the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa.
Secondly, what does Zzyzx Road mean? While leaving Las Vegas the last few times, I've noticed a sign for Zzyzx Road. The word Zzyzx (Zeye-zix) means nothing, but the area was a sucker magnet for 30 years. It's officially Soda Springs, at the edge of a dry lakebed. Historically, it was a small fresh-water source used by local Indians.
Also to know, how do you say Zzyzx?
It's pronounced “ZYE-zix,” in case you were wondering. California State University took over the facility in 1976, and now operates a Desert Studies Center there. But the Zzyzx nomenclature remains on the road sign, and has become a popular curiosity for travelers in the area.
What's at the end of Zzyzx Road?
At the end of Zzyzx Road is a mineral spring. Yep, that's right – in the middle of the desert, there's a spring. And not only that there's mineral spring/health center that has been built up around it. It's still operational and there are still people that live there.
