Hi folks.

Dave and Janice back with you.

This time we take you to Amboy Crater and Roy's Motel & Cafe in Amboy, California.

Amboy is a ghost town I guess you would say that's located along Historic Route 66 in southern California. It's home to Roy's Motel and Cafe - a Route 66 icon. Once a popular stop along Route 66, it has since had many films and music videos shot in and around it.

Just a little up the road you'll also find Amboy Crater National Natural Monument. Amboy Crater, formed of ash and cinders, is 250 feet high and 1,500 feet in diameter. It is situated in one of the youngest volcanic fields in the United States.

Both are super cool places to visit along Historic Route 66. Come along and check them out with us.

And don't forget to visit our web site at NoFixedAddress.life.
