  • Thurs. Aug. 11 – Day 2 – Santa Monica to Laughlin NV

    Posted on August 12th, 2011 bobpelikan No comments

    The day started with a quick stop at Ron’s Auto Air Conditioning in Ontario to top off the refrigerant as the AC had stopped conditioning the air and the Mojave lay ahead.  Ron worked his magic and we styled in air conditioned comfort all the way to Laughlin across the 110 degree desert.

    Driving Miss Annie - Route 66 from the back seat.

    Bagdad Cafe from the movie of the same name.

    Typical of the abandoned businesses all along 66.

    A couple of dudes from Argentina enjoying a Route 66 root beer at Roy's Diner, all that is left of Amboy CA. They rode all the way up on Harleys.

    One of 13 trains we counted along the old Route 66 crossing the Mojave. During one 70 mile stretch, we saw 9 trains but only 3 cars.

    Stretching our legs toward the end of the day.
