Love it thanks David... we stopped there (I think) when we drove from La Canada to Las Vegas in 2002... The place we stopped at looks very similar. It was where there was a link from the new Highway 15 onto what was left of Route 66. Perhaps, "Cracker Barrel" or somewhere short of Barstow? Back then just a few old pickup trucks and wrecked cars around a garage... with a cafe/store. We stopped there because we saw a sign to the old '66. Sadly I didn't take any photos at the time. My wife and I both enjoyed the video you sent. Cheers, P

Thanks Peter

Barstow is mentioned in the song “Get your kicks on Route 66”

I have a photo essay on Santa Monica Pier which was the end point of 66.

Maybe for another post further down the track.

Did you get my email with photos of the place we stopped on Route 66? Looked rundown but a typical US "Diner" on the old R66... (it was not "Cracker Barrel" as i had thought... I found pictures that I shared. I also have family who live in Santa Monica.

Hi Peter

No I didn't and I have checked all accounts and spam folders.

My most used address is djhdcj@gmail.com

Like the pony express - most of the mail gets through.
