Every child in USA knows what is Route 66 – historic trail to the paradise California where poor people were going to became rich. (Do you remenber Jahn Steinbeck’s novel?)
I spent the night on Route 66 – in little Williams, where they still have saloons, stylish shops and old station… It is nice to stop here and took few pictures.
Almost all day I was driving to the west – After Kingman (last chance for inexpensive fuel – 3,09 per gallon) I crossed the border to California. Then there was long drive through the Majave Desert. Wow! It is warm here! Hard to believe after the frost in Colorado!
The desert, surrounded by mountains is completly empty – no settlements. American Army has here Combat Center. It was long and boring drive. I was happy to reach Barstow on the western edge of the desert.
Hard to believe: in 7 days I drove so far 2060 miles x 1,6 = 3300 kms. It was possible because US has a good road system and it is off-season – I did not see any traffic congestions. Tomorrow I have to return the car on the coast of California…
