Day 16...June 14, 2009
Today's drive was very remote with few people on the road. No gas stations, no restaurants...nothing but scenery. Kingman, Cool Springs, Ed's Camp, Sitgreaves Pass, Oatman, Topock, cross the Colorado River and then we are in Needles, California. It was kind of sad knowing that not only is this the final state of Route 66 but once we cross the Mojave Desert we will once again join civilization. With it comes the traffic and crowds. As we drive through the desert we see Amboy Crater, Roy's Cafe (the ONLY food and gas around) then through the ghost towns of Bagdad, Siberia, Klondike (odd names for desert towns!) and Newberry Springs where the movie Bagdad Cafe was filmed. We didn't get to take the side trip to Calico Ghost Town but it seemed interesting with all the archeological sites. Made it to Barstow and prepared myself for the drive in to LA the next day. Arizona pics here and California pics here.
