Roy's

Roy's Motel & Cafe, perhaps the most ionic and isolated of all Route 66 roadside spots, in the tiny ghost town of Amboy, California.

 

While the gas station and cafe were reopened on a limited basis in 2008, the motel remains closed, as restoration would present a fairly major challenge at this point, both physically and economically.

 

The large on black view looks a lot better.

 

Night, full moon, ambient mercury vapor light & CTO-gelled X2000 flashlight.
