In late July, on the return portion of our
trip to OR and CA, we entered the Mojave Desert heat, and focused on driving
with little time allotted for side trips.
However, I did want to see a bit of the old Route 66. So we stopped just
east of Barstow, staying in a park on this famous route. Unfortunately, Route 66, in that area, didn’t
have many old buildings or museums for a “tourist” to visit.
