Route 66

So I just went on an amazing road trip with a friend of mine. We drove on the original (hardly maintained) ROUTE 66 and spent three days photographing. We went through a number of old small towns as well as some big ones. We came upon some very interesting places as well as people. We had to end our Route 66 expedition in Flagstaff, AZ but we are hoping to pick up where we left off next year and finish it out all the way to end.

Route 66 - Bottle Tree Ranch

Bottle Tree Ranch was a thrilling place we discovered along Route 66.  We stopped off to venture in and take some photos and that is how we met a man by the name of Elmer.  Elmer owns Bottle Tree Ranch, which is this place he has been building for 9 years.  He told us that he just collects bottles and random objects and he just continuously builds this place that looks like a forest made up of man made objects.  It was awesome chatting with Elmer and listening to his story.  I even convinced him to let me take his picture and he managed to sneak in a quick smile.
