Near the eastern end of Route 66 in California is this colorful sign welcoming visitors to Needles. The area, on the banks of the Colorado River, was an oasis to early travelers on Route 66. |
Roy's Cafe, Motel and Gas Station in Amboy is one of the largest and best preserved Route 66 businesses in California. It's also been featured in many films and TV commercials. |

Skipping ahead, way ahead, this is the traditional western end of Route 66, the Santa Monica Pier. We didn't actually go on it. It was a holiday weekend and the pier was mobbed. |
