Barstow and Victorville CA

 November 2008 - Barstow CA

A California Crossroads

The town soon grew around a railroad depot spurred by the Industrial Revolution. A century later, the automobile paved the way for Route 66, Interstate 40, Interstate 15, Highway 247, and Highway 58, lending to Barstow's moniker: Crossroads of Opportunity.

Victorville

The Legendary Route 66: Victorville's Claim to Fame

Victorville holds a special place in American history as a key stop along the iconic U.S. Route 66. Established in 1926, this famous highway linked Chicago to California, with Victorville playing a vital role as a transportation hub.

Victorville is also home of the Bottle Farm, we visited it on this trip.
