I’m obsessed with road trips, and one of my favorite local road trips is old Route 66 (tons of photos still to come – you’ll probably get sick of them). As every weekend approaches I start to think about throwing the dog in the car and hitting the road. I’m lucky that there are so many great, diverse day trips here in Southern California.

This shot is from the car (I was NOT driving) (this time), and it’s a stretch of Route 66 just outside of Oro Grande, California — somewhere between Victorville and Barstow, in the Mojave Desert. I was SO lucky to spot that ORANGE Corvette passing by the ORANGE gas station!
