... taking old Route 66 for 90 miles from just west of Needles CA to Ludlow, following the Santa Fe main line through Goffs, Essex and Amboy. You cross I40 one time, otherwise it's completely out of sight and it's like you've taken a time machine to a different world.
90 miles? Another world? C'mon Tom! I drive 90 miles to fill up my gas tank! You should see my commute to work! I admit that one might think a vast empty desert may seem like Mars, but that's just the effect that extreme boredom plays on the imagination!
