We crossed into California about 10 AM on day 4. After passing through the agricultural inspection station on I-40 (they allowed us to keep our oranges), we moved back to old 66 for a long drive through
the desert. Sparse country, but relaxing to drive through. And lots of dips, which Kelly had a good time driving over.
Between Essex and Amboy is an area Jerry McClanahan calls the "Route 66 Public Art Corridor". For miles, there is a dirt berm along the road. Travelers for years have filled it with messages spelled out with rocks, bottles, or whathaveyou. Somewhere just below a cairn built as a marker, our children are immortalized.

| We saw several places selling gas for over $5 a gallon, but never had to fill up at that price |
