A model of how the town of Caliente, California external link looked in the 1950's. Cars were parked in front of the Caliente Store which is presently the Post Office external link. In the foreground is the railroad station. Rail lines still pass through this town.

With oil derricks in the background and a busy rail line behind, it is hard to imagine how romantic it could be to park on this overlook. Despite its drawbacks, parking a car to make-out continues to be quite common. Of course these days, video cameras are so common that even if you park in a secluded spot, your adventure may appear on a web site.
