…on Route 66. This is the tiny town of Oro Grande, in the Mojave Desert between Victorville and Barstow, California. Was very lucky to catch that gorgeous orange train. This section of Route 66 has dozens of great photo ops — it’s well worth a day trip from the Los Angeles area.

And, if you look closely, you’ll find a cow on the roof!
