Back on Route 66 - Bottle Tree Ranch - Eaton Canyon Falls - LeAw in the USA //Ep.48
We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 48th episode, we get back on Route 66 and visit Elmer Long's Bottle Tree Ran and stop for a hike to see Eaton Canyon Falls.
Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
Elmer Long's Bottle Tree Ranch - Oro Grande, California.
A forest of 200 bottle trees along Route 66.
What does one do when left with thousands of colored glass bottles? Begin a massive recycling effort, or perhaps an obscure outdoor art gallery? Elmer Long decided on both after becoming the sole beneficiary of a massive bottle collection.
As a child, Long scoured the desert with his father, collecting everything and anything. While a younger Long took notes, his father amassed an incredible collection of glass bottles. When he passed away, Long inherited his work, as well as a loss at what to do with the strange collection. In 2000, an idea struck the famously bearded Elmer Long, and he created his first bottle tree.
Shaped like hat racks, with glass bottles of all colors and shapes angled off of them, the bottle tree ranch has now grown to 200 installations. Besides being a beautiful gallery, the hollow bottles also whirr a sweet tune when the wind passes through them. For travelers making their way across America, this collection and its curator are two treasures without equal.
Eaton Canyon is a major canyon beginning at the Eaton Saddle near Mount Markham and San Gabriel Peak in the San Gabriel Mountains in the Angeles National Forest, United States. Its drainage flows into the Rio Hondo river and then into the Los Angeles River. It is named after Judge Benjamin S. Eaton, who lived in the Fair Oaks Ranch House in 1865 not far from Eaton Creek.
The most well-known portion of the canyon is the Eaton Canyon Nature Center in Pasadena, California. The trailhead of the Mount Wilson Toll Road is in the canyon.
The Eaton Canyon Natural Area Park is located where the mountain stream debouches into the foothill wash at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. The park is administered by the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. The county administers the lower two-thirds of the area below the toll road bridge. Most of the 190 acres (0.8 km2) that comprises the natural area lie on the northern boundaries of the old Rancho San Pascual and Rancho Santa Anita on land designated for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Once the railroad gave up the land, it was opened for homesteading. The nature center is unique in the area because it houses exhibits that educate on the flora and fauna local to the San Gabriel Valley Southern California. The center was rebuilt in 1998 after the 1993 fire destroyed the previous facility.
Pasadena and parts of Altadena receive about 40% of their water from local sources. The upper third is controlled by the Water Department of the City of Pasadena.
Eaton Canyon Falls
The falls are where the Eaton Creek has a fifty-foot drop and are located north of the bridge in the part of the canyon administered by the US Forest Service. John Muir once described the waterfall as a charming little thing, with a low, sweet voice, singing like a bird, as it pours from a notch in a short ledge, some thirty or forty feet into a round mirror-pool.
Several waterfalls also exist above Eaton Fall, which are more secluded. Until 1979, there was a tunnel which allowed access, but this has been dynamited and filled in. While the upper falls were accessible decades ago, there are no longer any maintained trails. People have been injured and killed trying to make these climbs.
On July 31, 2011, a man fell to his death on the hike to the falls. Another man fell to his death one week later on August 6, 2011.
On March 22, 2013, two hikers tried to climb to the second waterfall, but decided against it mid-climb. As they made their way down, they both lost their footing and fell. One hiker, a high school senior, fell to her death, and the other was airlifted for treatment.
On June 27, 2014, the US Forest Service announced plans to close the trail to the upper falls. The trail to the upper falls was closed off on August 1, 2014. Violators caught trespassing the off-limits area will face a fine of up to $5,000 or six months in jail.

Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch 2018
Kleiner Rundgang auf Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch in Oro Grande, California. Wir finden alleine die Idee schon ziemlich cool - deswegen waren wir 2018 dort! Ein Abstecher lohnt sich.
Elmer's Place. Route 66 Bottle Tree Ranch
UrbanEscapists.com
About half an hour outside Victorville, on the iconic Route 66, the first opportunity to explore the strange world of desert art appears near Helendale. Elmer’s Place, or the Bottle Tree Ranch, is a small two-acre patch of a fantasy we happened upon. Elmer Long’s “trees” are in fact welded from pieces of steel and topped with discarded bottles to create a forest of incredible light and sound. Few stop along the Mother Road to take the time to explore, so we had the entire forest to ourselves. Propellers whirr in the desert breeze, and the hundreds of glass bottles gently clink and tinkle like tiny off-key piano notes. With silence all around, this is the song of the desert.

The Bottle Tree Ranch, off of Route 66 (The Mother Road)
The family and I were driving down old Route 66, between Victorville and Barstow, when we came across the Bottle Tree Ranch. These glass bottle trees have all been made by Elmar Long in the past 14 years. A perfect additional to Route 66. You can find this place 24266 National Trails Highway, Oro Grande, CA 92368.
Oro Grande Park1967
In the summer of 1967, we were living in Apple Valley, CA. My parents, Bill and Donna Peirson, took my sisters and I to Oro Grande where they had a park that had a Tank and Locomotive. I believe it was called Griffith Henshaw Memorial Park at the time.

Route 66 - Ziua 18, Las Vegas NV - Los Angeles CA
Inapoi pe Route 66!!! Dupa 3 zile de dezmatz...aaa relaxare in Las Vegas, astazi am pornit din nou la drum. Am trecut granita in California, ultimul stat din calatoria noastra :( Route 66 strabate prin California un desert plin de copaci Joshua. Am luat pranzul la Peggy Sue's 50s Diner iar chiar in apropiere se afla oraselul Calico. Fost orasel minier, Calico este acumun ghost town prezervat perfect iar atmosfera vechilui vest salbatic inca se regaseste. Cobwoy-ii inca se impusca pe strada principala spre deliciul copiilor iar un trenuelt care face turul minelor din jur inca e in functiune. In Barstow ne-am oprit la un micut muzeu dedicat Route 66 unde am putut admiral un Ford Model T in stare exceptionala. Prin California Route 66 srabate cateva orasele destul de parasite dar inca se mai pot vizita locuri interesante si neobisnuite. De exemplu in Oro Grande se afla Elmer's bottle tree ranch. Este o curte plina de copaci facuti din fier si diferite recipiente din sticla. De-alungul anilor Elmer a colectionat sticle goale si a construit pe proprietatea lui acesti copaci si a deschis-o turistilor pt a putea fi vizitata. Daca bate putin vantul copacii se misca iar clincanitul sticlelor suna de peste tot. Este ceva ce nu vezi in fiecare zi. Mergand din ce in ce mai aproape de Los Angeles ne-am oprit la celebrul muzeu McDonald's din San Bernadino. Aici a fost deschis primul restaurant al fratilor McDonald. Acum cladirea adaposteste numeroase artefacte si poze ce ilustreaza istoria binecunoscutului lant de fast food. Dupa o oprire scurta pt un shake de vanilie la Legends Classic Diner am ajuns in sfarsit in orasul ingerilor. Stam la Moment hotel chiar pe celebrul Sunset Strip boulevard. Sunset Strip a fost in anii 80 punctul de plecare al multor trupe binecunoscute de glam si hair metal precum Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt, Cinderella, Van Halen, Guns and Roses... iar faptul cam am reusit sa stam chiar aici e un vis implinit. Suntem aproape de localurile unde majoritatea trupelor de 80s rock s-au lansat. Ajungand la hotel am avut parte de o mare surpriza. Prietenul meu Kurt Berry a venit special in Los Angeles ca sa ne revedem. Pe Kurt l-am cunoscut acum 10 ani in Bucuresti pe cand era coordonatorul mondial Hard Rock Cafe si a venit la noi sa deschida cafenoaua din parcul Herastrau. Ne-am imprietenit instant datorita pasiunii comune pt muzica si am pastrat legatura in tot acest timp. Mi-a facut o placere enorma sa il revad. Fiind mai de-al casei ne-a facut un tur al Sunset strip si am apucat sa vedem cat de cat cluburi ca Wiskey a Go Go, Roxy, Rainbow si Troubadour. Acestea sunt localuri legendare care si astazi aduna pasionati de muzica din toate colturile lumii. Doar mergand prin ele poti observa cata incarcatura istorica au. Poti sta la aceeasi masa la care au stat Axel Rose, Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Nikki Sixx,Bon Jovi, Jimmi Page, Lemmy ...etc Welcome to Los Angeles!!!
Californiaaahhhh!
So our excursions led us to California this week. Battling snot and resisting tacos is not my idea of a good time but we made the most of it. Here is our short list:
Elmer’s Bottle Tree Ranch, Oro Grande
The Queen Mary, Long Beach
Afters Ice Cream
Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica
Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
Avenue of the Giants
So until next time... let the next adventure begin!
NAIL in a TIRE | Starting Route 66 in Santa Monica
We start the Route 66 in Santa Monica and drive through Los Angeles traffic with the trailer just to follow the Route 66 (not a wise decision). We stop by Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch near Oro Rancho and Bagdad Cafe in Newberry Springs.
As we were getting ready to leave the trailer behind to do off-roading trip across the Mojave Desert discovered a nail in one of the trailer tires. So we had to change the tire. Luckily, just before it we had bought a hydraulic bottle jack which came in very handy (Amazon affiliate link):
