Day 14: Barstow CA to Santa Monica CA. The grand finale. The last 155 miles of my road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles on the historic Route 66

Day 13: Kingman AZ to Barstow CA
Postcard from Barstow, California. 241 miles in a oven. I left early to avoid the expected heatwave but it wasn’t early enough.Today’s leg started with some series of nervous narrow turns, in and out on the mountains leading to the ghost town of Oatman, now a kind of Disneyland for western movie lovers. After that, the Route 66 enters California, skirting the southern part of the Mojave desert and it is just nothingness, lizards crossing the roads and burning temperatures. Kinda beautiful. One more sleep to the grand finale. Driving from Kingman to Barstow Cheat Sheet Accommodation in Barstow, CA Where to eat and what to see between Kingman, AZ…
