T-Bird on Route 66

T-Bird on Route 66

After completed our Route 66 Adventure from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica Pier, California, we continued “kicking” on Lincoln Highway. This blog is still about T-bird on Route 66 but we hope you will enjoy photos of the Mustang on Lincoln Highway and our annual road trips (Westward Adventures).

BOTTLE TREE RANCH - HELENDALE, CALIFORNIA

Folk Art on Route 66 – Elmer Long is the artist who lives on the property.

On display at the Bottle Tree Ranch are countless colorful bottles arrayed on “trees”, intermixed with Route 66 artifacts.

Some of the bottles are old and dusty, while others are newly added, as the “forest” continues to grow.
Visit www.bottletreeman.blogspot.com or www.oddcitycentral.com to read more about this special folk art and the artist.

CITY OF BARSTOW - CALIFORNIA

City of Barstow -
In the early 1920s, an emigration to California started from the Midwest. Families packed up and headed West on National Old Trail Highways and proceeded right along Barstow’s main street. The depression and dust storms of the 1930’s sent families to California seeking work. Some ended their journey in Barstow and made it their home. In 1926, the road traveled became Route 66, the “Mother Road”.



The Southern Route of the Mormon Trail.
