Historic Highways

When Kurt and I left Joshua Tree National Park to return to our home state of Minnesota, we decided to revisit Route 66 with the miniatures and explore more of Highway 54.

Our first stop was in Amboy, California. Kurt had been eying Roy’s sign for a while. The Motel's sign was nicely preserved as well as the Motel’s lobby. The challenge was to find the right perspective. After spending a couple hours trying, we disengaged and toured the rooms and Kurt saw the light (literally) coming through one of the windows, it was perfect for the scene!
