  •  Roy's Motel & Cafe in Amboy is the epitome of the glory of Route 66's past. Once a beacon in the desert for rest, food, and gas, now it stands to symbolize the ghosts of travelers past and those on the mission of their California dream. #roysmotelandcafe #route66 #vintage #nostaligia #desert #midcenturymodern #motel #historic #amboy #roadside #california #southerncalifornia #mojavedesert #nationaltrailshighway #travel #adventure #wanderlust #californiadreaming
     Sunrise at Trona Pinnacles. I camped here overnight, and enjoyed not only a beautiful sunset, but a beautiful sunrise, with a breathtaking night sky full of stars. #tronapinnacles #trona #mojavedesert #desert #space #outerspace #moon #scifi #filmlocation #california #southerncalifornia #travel #adventure #wanderlust #explorecalifornia #thecaliforniac #stars #camping #wilderness #wildwest #sunrise #nature

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building began as a Bullock's department store, and opened up this salon location in 1963. Dora, who currently runs the shop, has been there 20+ years, has several recognition awards on display. There are lots of gems throughout the building, and this is definitely one of them. #macys #pasadena #historicplace #hairsalon #kids #haircut #losangeles #california #southerncalifornia #travel #unique #artdeco #architecture #vintage  Feels so far away, yet is really so close. #mulhollandhwy #losangeles #california #travel #adventure #wanderlust #sunset #goldenhour #scenic #southerncalifornia #golden #summer
