Part II of our Route 66 California journey. After departing Amboy Crater, we noticed few old buildings along the route west to Los Angeles, CA.
Route 66 Westbound
Entering Newberry Springs, California, we arrived at Bagdad Cafe. Originally built in the 1950s, this world-famous restaurant was the location of the 1988 film, "Bagdad Cafe," which became the new name of the restaurant in 1995.
One can see busloads of visitors received over the years.
We've made our mark!
Flags from countries the world over hanging from the ceiling.
Notice One Billion Dollar and One Million Dollar bill? (I don't think is real)
Few sites along Route 66 are as immediately recognizable as the teepee-shaped cabins of the Wigwam Villages. Depicted as the Cozy Cone Motel in the film "Cars." There were seven such villages build around the county and only three remain today: Wigwam Village #2 in Cave City, Kentucky, Wigwam Village #6 in Holbrook, Arizona, and Wigwam Village #7 in San Bernardino, California. We visited the Village #7.
Three other stops along the Route 66 were: First Original McDonalds, Cucamonga Service Station, and the Aztec Hotel.
For the First Original McDonalds, I'll do a separate blog to give you some history and more photos.
Until then, thanks for traveling with us. Blessings!
