Enjoyed this as much as the rest Ronan. With a presumed dearth of coppers, surprising Rte. 66 doesn't attract more speed demons. Look fwd. to the next installment.

Sure sound like you got "your kicks" along the route. Thank you for following the L.A. Coroner shots with food pics from a vegetarian restaurant.

A good side trip from LA is Palm Springs, which usually has beautiful desert weather. However , this time it was pouring rain, so a (very nice) breakfast on on the main drag was about all the sightseeing we did this trip.

If you are a golfer, there are superb gold courses in Palm also.
