Cool photos of Outman, I haven’t been there in a very long time. I always enjoy the drive over Gold Road, especially driving west and seeing the same view that travelers got of their first look at California. IMHO it doesn’t look live the land of mike and honey

Recently it was agreed that the west end of route 66 will be the Santa Monica Pier, I guess that was important to some. Ha Ha Here is a link to a news story from England, fun read since it’s written for people who don’t know any of the story, I hope some around here enjoy it.

I’m more of a fan of old wagon routes, but I try and travel the old two lanes like 66 over the fast pace super- slab when I can.

I won't ever forget seeing the sun rise that morning when my father drove across the Colorado River in a 1949 flat head V8 Ford in 1955. My father and pregant mother had five of us kids and a dog and all of our belongings in that Ford. Dad had $40 left in his wallet. We were poor dirt folks from the swamps of Arkansas hoping for a new life in California. We knew nobody in California, but Dad found a job in Riverside the next day.
