Route 66 California/Arizona Road Trip

We picked up Route 66 in Victorville CA and had a delightful stop at the Route 66 Museum.  A team of very enthusiastic volunteers shared their knowledge about the museum and Route 66 history.   They highly recommended Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch on the National Trails Hwy on our way to Barstow.   Elmer Long began his welding on these "trees" in 1980s.  You can't miss it if you are on the highway and it is a fun stop.

What I liked about these "trees" are the toppers -- each one has a different top.  Tricycles, guns, mailboxes, anything he could find, goes on top.
