Route 66!!

As we were driving east along the I-40 yesterday, we kept noticing this old 2 lane road running parallel to us. We eventually pulled in for gas and noticed a sign pointing towards this old road... "Historic Route 66"!

Our original plan never involved this old piece of Americana... But now that we have seen it.... drove beside it.... we feel like it is calling our names... How can you ignore this once in a life time opportunity!!? So here we are in Needles. Which just happens to be a major stop on the historic U.S. Route 66 highway from the 1920's through the 1960's. For immigrants from the mid-west Dust Bowl in the 30's it was the first town, marking their arrival into California!

Here are a few photos we snapped as we drove along the historic Route 66 in Needles California.
