Probably the least celebrated stretch of Route 66 - most travelers head between Barstow and Victorville straight down I-15, and few know that the Historic Route 66 takes a wide sweep to the west, stretching through the Mojave Desert along the Mojave River and right next to one of the strangest, weirdest batch of trees in the USA, Elmer Long's Bottle Tree Ranch! A modern Route 66 landmark! Talk about Roadside Attraction, talk about folk art!! And finally taking another stab at the Route 66 museum in Barstow! Will we make it there before it closes!?
