Been back from vacation for a week and am now just getting around to pictures! This last trip was a complete blast. Even though we didn&#8217;t venture off too far, it was right up among our favourite trips yet. We must just really, really love road trips. Here&#8217;s a shot of the famous and abandoned Roy&#8217;s Motel and Cafe on Route 66 in Ghost Town Amboy, CA. It&#8217;s stationed in the middle of nowhere in the California desert.

It&#8217;s stationed in the middle of nowhere in the California desert. Of course my husband and I psyched ourselves out reading up on all the horror stories of Amboy like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.escapistmagazine.com\/forums\/read\/18.354471-Creepy-story-could-be-true-Either-way-still-cool\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/nosleep\/comments\/2vgw50\/welcome_to_amboy_ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/worldnews\/northamerica\/usa\/12038229\/Amboy-Creepy-photo-of-abandoned-motel-freaks-out-reddit-users.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> right before we visited the town. It makes the experience a tad bit more thrilling. ;) We didn&#8217;t stay very long though because despite the thrill, there was some very real anxiety. So, we jumped out of the car for a brief moment to snap a few photos and then went on our way!<\/p>\n<p>The photos turned out vibrant, beautiful, and full of that 1950&#8217;s feel, which was everything we wanted while driving through parts of Route 66. So for those of you who are fans of the Mother Road, here are brand new prints for you to check out! Many more Route 66 prints to come and many more from Arizona, Utah, and California in the hopper, so hang tight!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16.jpg\" alt=\"Roy&#039;s Motel and Cafe, Art Print\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17898\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16.jpg 810w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16-450x450.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16-624x624.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16b.jpg\" alt=\"Roy&#039;s Motel and Cafe, Art Print\" width=\"810\" height=\"573\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17899\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16b.jpg 810w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16b-450x318.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/07.09.16b-624x441.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Roy&#039;s Motel and Cafe on Route 66, Amboy, CA - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/roys-motel-and-cafe-on-route-66-amboy-ca\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Roy&#039;s Motel and Cafe on Route 66, Amboy, CA - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Been back from vacation for a week and am now just getting around to pictures!
