From the days before this was politically incorrect, I guess! This is an old section of Route 66 in the Mojave Desert — a tiny town called Oro Grande that’s basically just a couple of cool antique stores, an operational mini-mart (not this one), and a pizza joint.

There’s SO much Route 66 history in Los Angeles, including the end of the trail — actually, there are 3 different Route 66 endings, but the Santa Monica Pier is the most fun.
My Route 66 explorations in California & Arizona are what has inspired the West to East journey I’m taking this month. Join the Journey at http://ObsessiveHobbyist.com.

I’m sure to need some of those when I take off next week on my Route 66 SUMMER cruise! This photo is from a trip last year to Amboy, California, home of the iconic (isn’t everything on Route 66 iconic??) Roy’s Cafe & Motel. (& Gas).

I’m getting ready to head out on a major Route 66 trip in a couple of weeks, from Santa Monica to Missouri (at least…maybe further). Have been going through all my California Route 66 pix. This is the old Henning Motel next to the Bagdad Cafe (the one from the movie) in Newberry Springs — the middle of the Mojave Desert. Long ago deserted.
