California Route 66 - A D&D Travel Exploration, Page 1 We had the chance to visit historic California Route 66 in September, 2025. Please enjoy this photo essay on this portion of the Mother Road, from the Arizona border to Santa Monica! There are two pages with almost 150 photographs... Photos © 2025, Dennis A.

 This is one of the quirkiest, most unusual 66 oddities we have ever run across...and it's fantastic!! No charge when it's open and the original owner has passed away but they seem to be keeping it up (donations welcome)! By all means check it out!!! |
