Below are pictures from Amboy, California, the location of today’s Far Flung Forecast from Dave Schwan.

More from Schwanie: “These are two pictures I took in May 2009, during a Route 66 trip I did with my Dad.  They’re from Amboy, California, our Far-Flung Forecast feature today.  Amboy goes back to the 1850s, its population today is a big zero.  However, Kyle Okura, who lives in Southern California is restoring the motel and cafe that still stands, hoping the coming 100th Anniversary of Route 66 will make it a destination”.
