Saturday, April 4, 2015 – Almost there!

It was nice to sleep in a little this morning.  When we were in the Museum yesterday, there was a Japanese film crew there that took a picture of Ellen and wanted permission to use it.  They told her of this really great place ‘up the road’ called “Elmer’s Bottle Tree Ranch”.  Unfortunately ‘up the road was behind us’.  Ellen wanted to go anyway…… so we went.  It’s too bad Elmer wasn’t there because you’re continually amazed, but aways asking “WHY?”.  Another visitor told me she thought it was ‘ART’.  I told her I agreed because it couldn’t be anything else.

Wonder where he found this....

An old Harley that needs some work....

This is the front of the 'house'

Elmer must be pretty handy with a welder.....

A bottle tree forest.

We were glad that we went back.

We then went bact to Victorville and then down across the mountains into San Bernardino, and turned west down the ‘Valley’.

Main Street in Victorville

The famous Wigwam Motel in Rialto.  At one time there were 8 sites up and done Route 66.  Now there are only two of them.  This one has been totally modernized and is very popular...

Rancho Cucamonga claims to be the trail-head of Route 66 and has a lot of signage.

Cucamonga 'sculptures'.

Our campground is a KOA in  Pomona and was pretty pricey since it was the only site left when we made our reservation yesterday.  We were hoping that we’d have cable so we can watch the Wisconsin/Kentucky game tonight.  Luckily there’s a sports bar a couple of blocks away.

Our campsite for the night....

Got there early enough to clean out the SUV finally......
