In 1993

California Route 66 Road Trip
It’s me! Matt Stone. Back in 2011 my wife Dianne and I went on an epic road trip across the United State of America, we started in Chicago and followed the old alignments of Historic Route 66 as far as Flagstaff, AZ (see our video of the trip here: We went up to Las Vegas followed by Los Angeles and San Francisco which meant we missed some of the best sections of Route 66 through western Arizona and almost all of California.
On our trip to Los Angeles where we spent most of our time at Disneyland, Anaheim (video here: we did a day trip into the California desert along Route 66 as far as we could drive in half a day.
We stopped off at the McDonalds museum in San Bernardino where we met the museum curator Jack Marcus, the California Route 66 Museum in Victorville where we had a personal tour of the museum from Lou, one of the volunteers who had many amazing stories about the collection and his own life growing up in the USA, with our final stop being Barstow and seeing the famous Harvey House and Train Station.

The Most Exciting Street In America - Route 66.
California is home to so many beautiful modern attractions that one of the things that often gets lost in the shuffle is the history of this fantastic state. One of the most interesting parts of that history to me is that it was the end point for Route 66, the mother road. I have set out to drive this road in separate parts, all through California and in doing so I have already found wonderful places like the Original McDonalds Museum and Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch. This video spotlights the attractions I found when driving from Victorville to Amboy, California. They are in order of the things you would see heading from Victorville to Amboy.
The German comedy movie filmed at the Bagdad Café was named after the Café: Bagdad Cafe (Out of Rosenheim) by Percy Adlon (1987). At the heart of the California desert, the weary Bagdad Cafe, its motel and service station welcome travelers, backpackers, and a whole cast of original characters, direct on Route 66. One day, a strange German woman magically appears to change everything.
Also the following movies were filmed on Route 66:
Paris, Texas by Wim Wenders (1984). A man that everyone thought dead for several years appears walking alone out of the desert. He has only one thing in mind: returning to Paris.
Little Miss Sunshine by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (2006). Burlesque and atypical family travelling on an off-age van between New Mexico and California to lead seven years Olive to a beauty pageant finals.
Easy Rider Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern (1969). Two biker-hippies roam the southern United States and present a subversive portrayal of America at that time. The film was shot along Route 66.
Thelma & Louise by Ridley Scott (1991). Between Arkansas and Arizona, weekend girlfriends Thelma and Louise get out of control on a bloody and ill-fated escape.

California's Old Route 66: Barstow to Amboy Dashcam
Let's take a drive on old US 66! Starting in Barstow and headed east, I tried to follow the old 66 pavement as much as possible... with stops at the Bagdad Cafe, Ludlow, and of course, Roy's Motel and Cafe in Amboy, California. Enjoy the bumpy ride!

I made this trip in March, 2016. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera, mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

Kicking off the beginning of the end of Route 66 in California, we travel from Victorville to Barstow via the old Mother Road. Most of the road in this video is now apart of San Bernardino County Road (CR) 66, the only County Road in San Bernardino County.
US Highway 66 is the road that needs no introduction. Originally running from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, CA, the road traveled more then two thousand miles all the way. The road rose to fame with the Dust Bowl of the 1930's because of residents seeking a better life in Los Angeles. In The Grapes of Wrath, the road was given the nickname of 'The Mother Road', and was made into a musical tune by the Nat Cole Trio's hit '(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66.
The road traveled eight states, and out of 2400 miles, California had the third longest stretch of highway, spanning 315 approximate miles, versus New Mexico's 380 miles and Arizona's 401 miles. US 66 originally ended in Downtown Los Angeles at the corner of Broadway and 7th St, but was later extended to Santa Monica when US 66 was rebranded as a 'road to paradise'.
In 1964, US Route 66 was legally decommissioned in the State of California, although it was still signed along Route 248 (later SR 248), Route 66 (modern SR 66), Route 15 (modern I-215), and Route 40. This was due to the 1964 renumbering in California which abolished the Legislative Route Number (LRN) System in favor of using the Signed Route number. California also tried to abolished as many multiplexes (multiple Signed Routes on one road) as possible. US 66 was first truncated to Pasadena, later La Verne, and finally Barstow until I-40 was completed in the 1970's, which marked the end of US 66 in California.
Now, with modern efforts of the getting the road back on the map, San Bernardino County has made it's own effort to resign the route in it's rural desert. Unlike portions in the Inland Empire which are maintained by their respective cities, the county has been responsible for maintenance of this road since Caltrans relinquished it. San Bernardino County also opted to sign CR 66 in Barstow and Needles, however I am unsure if the county or the city maintains these portions. Irregardless, CR 66 runs from just north of Victorville to Needles, via the National Trails Highway and The Needles Freeway (I-40).
Today we focus mainly what has become known as the Helendale section of the road, as it's the biggest town left along the old highway. This section runs north out of Victorville to make a rather odd, sweeping, 90 degree turn to level out to Barstow. Much of this section is the original alignment of US 66 dating to 1926, just widened to allow for safe travel of modern vehicles.

ARIZONA JAIL ON THE HISTORIC ROUTE 66 ALSO KNOWN AS WILL ROGERS HIGHWAY.
U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the Main Street of America or the Mother Road) was a highway in the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926. However, road signs did not go up until the following year. The famous highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup, originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946, and later performed by such artists as Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Manhattan Transfer and Depeche Mode) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.
Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint farther west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.
Route 66 was a major path of the migrants who went west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive even with the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.
U.S. 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name Historic Route 66. It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been redesignated State Route 66, and others bear Historic Route 66 signs and relevant historic information.
Wigwam Motel - California Route 66 - California Travel Tips
Hey guys! I'm Veronica Hill with California Travel Tips and I'm really excited to show you a tour of the Wigwam Motel in San Bernardino/Rialto on California Route 66!
This Route 66 motel, a beloved relic in San Bernardino since 1949, is the last of three remaining Wigwam motels in the country. (The other two are in Kentucky and Arizona).
Designed by Frank Redford in the Native American style, the Wigwam motels on Route 66 have long been a favorite pilgrimage for Mother Road enthusiasts and are among the best Route 66 attractions. Each concrete teepee boasts updated amenities that include new Serta beds, free WiFi, flat screen TVs and refrigerators. Coffee is available in the lobby. While you're there, be sure to say hi to Kumar Patel, the motel's owner and a passionate Route 66 expert and preservationist.
During your stay, you can take a dip in the kidney-shaped swimming pool, grill up a burger on the barbecue, or explore nearby attractions that include the site of the first McDonald's restaurant (now a Route 66 museum) or the Auto Club Speedway. If you can, time your visit for the annual Route 66 Rendezvous, held here each September.
Fun Fact: The Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land at Disneyland California Adventure was inspired by the Wigwam Motel in San Bernardino / Rialto and Holbrook, Arizona and the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico. The cozy name comes from the Cozy Dog Drive-In in Springfield, Illinois.
WIGWAM MOTEL
