    What a neat little town on old 66

    • @jeffthisted
      @jeffthisted  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's super cool right Gary?!? Now it's almost completely isolated because Route 66 is washed out from the east and the west. The only way in or out is Kelbaker road from I-40 or the Amboy Highway from Joshua Tree.
      What'd you think of the video??
