Where is This?

where is this? By the Horns

PHOTOGRAPH BY KERRICK JAMES You've been trekking for miles through the searing desert. Above the asphalt, heat ripples the air like the water you wish you had. Suddenly, you behold the parched skull of a longhorn cow, only it's... 40 feet wide. You remind yourself that dehydration causes hallucinations. Yet this place is real, and by all accounts serves up a mean plate o' nachos. No one seems sure who built it - some Californian, possibly as a set for a 1970s movie? - but as you bite into the specialty burger, you're just grateful it's not a mirage.
