Recently I decided to take a drive on Route 66. This is the 100 year anniversary of the road, and, even though it is mostly obsolete, it is well worth spending time on. The first stretch I did was between Amboy and Needles in California. https://edwardiseverywhere.blogspot.com/

Route 66 is the original mother road. There are so many little attractions from end to end. These guardian lions are near the Amboy Motel. #route66 #amboy #California #guardianlions #Chinese #roadside #attraction #photography #fljckr #darktable flic.kr/p/2rsRC7q

An iconic Route 66 sign on the road under the stars in Amboy, north of Joshua Tree National Park in California. Glowing red.

Sitting in the desert, going nowhere fast
Stuck in traffic, how long will this thing last?
I'm around the corner from Roy's Diner, a train is in the way
I should have stayed inside longer, but now I'll have to pay
It's desperately hot right here, I will have you know
Geez I don't like this desert heat, I would rather have the snow

#amboy #traffic #poem (human, not actually stuck in Amboy).

Getting the harvest ready for Thanksgiving.
