Thanks awg! The motel signs reflect my interest in a) the vanishing ephemera of the American roadside [ I love road trips ] and b) I am a graphic designer so the signage is interesting to me anyway... plus I like to have *some* kind of "theme" when I take my camera along and not end up with a bunch of random shots.
The section of Route 66 east of Amboy that accepted the 140 mph is a straight, slightly uphill (maybe 2%) grade of about six miles in length. A perfect smooth road surface with great visibility and very little traffic. By the time you get to that speed and enjoy the moment it's time to cool down. On weekends you'll see more cars and the ocasional motorcycle group but in general there's no one out on that section during the week. You still have to be very very careful of course no matter when you go. Seen a CHP eating lunch at Newberry Springs but never on the lonely road heading east.
