bird + bus stop
Heat. And then some more heat. That was my main impression of Barstow. It was the kind of heat that dried everything out, that bleached the color until it wasn’t there.
But hey! At least people waiting for the bus got some good shade.

It was a gray night in Needles; even the full moon didn’t help very much.
Our stop in Needles came after a long day of driving that took us from the close-to-freezing temperature in Flagstaff*, across the desert, through a creepy town that I’ll call “Oatman”**, and then down into Needles, which was hot AF and really pretty depressing.
Oh, the joys of a road trip!

There are approximately a billion photos of the sign in front of this building, which is precisely why I didn’t show it to you: I bet you’ve already seen it. And if not, just Google it.
And anyway, there was no way I was passing up the opportunity to get a shot of this flag-intensive place.

Yay for Texas! It doesn’t get much Route 66 mileage (186, the second lowest of the eight states on the route) but at least it got the midpoint.
(Kansas – poor Kansas – only gets 13 miles.)

her life was in the toilet
Seligman, Arizona, cracked me up. They’ve hung a lot (like maybe everything?) on their Route 66 location and the results were often hilarious.
Like this poor woman, who not only has neither hair nor hands (or a lower body, probably) and has somehow ended up in the toilet.
