DESERTS & MOUNTAINS
TRIP
Miscellaneous Pictures
The following are pictures from
the Deserts & Mountains Trip that do not fit on any other
page. These may include pictures from other roads that I spent
just a couple minutes on (such as getting onto Interstate 76 in
Denver for a couple miles and it was not in the trip plan). Also
included are pictures from my time spent near Avila Beach,
California.

View from the end
of the off-ramp from Interstate 40
West at Exit 149 for Historic Route 66. The signs
in this area look like they are older than I am. |
 |
After taking a left
turn and crossing Interstate 40,
the road intersects Interstate 40 East. Notice the
white Interstate 40 shield and the greenout where a
U.S. 66 shield once called home on the top half
of the sign. |
 |
A little further
down the road, the road intersects
Historic Route 66. Again, notice the blank space
and the very old Interstate 40 shield. |
 |
Now looking
westbound on Historic Route 66.
The street crossing the historic route is the same
street that I was on for the previous two pictures. |
 |
A stop sign with a
couple extra words, this
"Complete Stop Please" sign is seen as
motorists
depart the Giant Travel Center off Exit 39 of
Interstate 40. |
 |
AZ 89A South
approaching Interstate 40 - 1 mile,
in Flagstaff, Arizona. |

Normally, I don't
take pictures of furniture stores
unless a road sign is in front of it, but this one in
Palmdale, California, caught my attention because
a good friend of mine has the same name. |
 |
The Motel 6 of San
Luis Obispo, California. |
 |
"END CA
227" sign at the highway's western
end at U.S. 101 in San Luis Obispo. |
 |
A view of the Avila
Beach area. |
 |
I'm surprised this
picture didn't break the
camera! Anyways, yes, that is the webmaster of
OKRoads.com in this picture, with the Pacific
Ocean looming behind him. Just a little over a
month later, I took a picture of me with the
Atlantic Ocean behind me. |
 |
"Speed Limit
40" sign near Avila Beach. |
 |
Waves crashing at
the Pacific Ocean. |
 |

East. |
 |
CO 121 South
off-ramp at Interstate 70

 |
Interstate 76
begins just to the left of this
picture, so the ramp from CO 121 to
Interstate 70 East also has a ramp to
Interstate 76 East. |

The Holiday Inn
Express of Colby, Kansas. |
