Route 66 – Bagdad Cemetery

Mother Road Minute

Bagdad Cemetery The city of Bagdad was bypassed in 1972 when Interstate 40 opened 20 miles to the north and the two-lane stretch of Route 66 through here became a deserted, seldom-used road between Amboy and Ludlow. Bagdad’s last buildings were eventually bulldozed into oblivion in 1991 and the only remains is this cemetery. The BLM keeps a close eye on this location. Despite what you may have heard… There is no buried treasure, guns or valuable objects in the graves, and never was. The ghost town of Bagdad was founded in 1883 on Route 66, and was the main wagon trail into California used as it crossed the Mojave along the Mojave Trail. Bagdad Cemetery lies just north of the tracks near the former site of the railroad depot.…

Route 66 – Amboy Crater

Mother Road Minute

Amboy Crater Amboy Crater National Natural Landmark Amboy, California <script> I’m at the Amboy Crater in the California’s Mohave Desert, halfway between Barstow and Needles on Route 66. It was formed some 79,000 years ago. It stands 250 feet high, 1,500 feet wide and was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1973. This is a very symmetrical volcanic cinder cone and when it was formed a breach on the west side allowed lava to cover some 24 square miles with lava lakes, collapsed lava tubes and spatter cones. Entrance is free, open year round, RV and Trailer parking and the site offers picnic tables, restroom facilities, a hiking trail to the rim and is ADA Friendly with a ramada overlook. This is a must See! [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO16GlxbdbI[/embedyt] …

Route 66 – Bagdad Cafe

Mother Road Minute

Bagdad Cafe This is the Bagdad Cafe, made famous by The International-award winning movie by the same name in 1987. The film featured CCH Pounder and Jack Palance. For history buffs, Bagdad is a former town on Route 66 east of ludlow that was bypassed by Interstate 40 and it originally did have a Bagdad Cafe, but the movie was filmed here at the once named Sidewinder Cafe in Newberry Springs some 50 miles west. The Sidewinder Cafe was built in 75 and was officially renamed the Bagdad Cafe in 1995 when it was purchased by its current owners. Easy to find from the east or west, south side of I-40 between Fort Cady Road and Newberry Road on Route 66.

Route 66 – Lighting the Roy’s Motel Sign

Mother Road Minute

This was an exciting day for me… You’ve heard the term "a kid in a candy store"? I was invited by the night manager Nicole to turn on the Roy’s Motel Sign at dusk. To some this is not a big deal... To me, I’m Charlie Bucket standing in Bill’s Candy Store and getting the Golden Ticket. This sign -- restored in 2019 -- is the tallest thing for miles, and claims to be the most photographed sign on Route 66. Add in the Googie architecture and the surrounding ghost town buildings, it creates a very artsy, post-apocalyptic vibe.
