Barstow, CA -- A classic motel along Route 66 in the California high desert. Barstow is at one end of the National Trails Highway. This scenic byway gives the driver a never-ending show of historic buildings, 1930s era gas stations and cafes. Many of the building walls are abandon and surrounded by a fence but their spirit lives on.

Do you have kids? If the answer is yes, then the Pixar film CARS has given the Mother Road a whole new meaning.
My son (4 in Jan.) and I have this dream of driving down the western end of the Route 66, and one day it will happen, I am sure of it.

I've seen CARS and loved it! I plan on making more trips alone Rt 66 and photographing it. Not all Rt 66 sections are "romantic." I live within minutes of Route 66 here in Pasadena. There are a few gems here, but the real prize-winners are found in more lonely sections of the West, like the National Trails Highway.
I'll be back with more! Stay tuned.
These are the kind of places I like to stay at. Notice one car in the parking lot? I take that as a good sign.
Happy New Year 2010 JT
