Another Mel Blanc Day! But I’ll get back to that.
I got a decent start from Barstow – I will say, the Barstow Days Inn was a bit nicer than the Ramada the night before. I couldn’t see light under the door… but the A/C took a couple hours to catch up and cool the room… I think it was the original unit from when the motel was built. Hey, it was cheap, and safe. Breakfast was either a bagel, oatmeal or bagels… I took a couple bagels and called it good.
The Starbucks Coffee sign was just cool… I didn’t stop for coffee, but I had to grab a photo.
Once I got past San Bernardino, most of the trip was urban – lots of traffic. Nothing as notable as the donkeys. Except the guy with the woody – with the surf boards on the top and everything… but he’s a long way from the ocean. Well, and the Wig Wam motel in San Bernardino – truly a “Cars” theme.
I will say that I HAD to stop and take pictures in Cucamonga – and all I could hear was Mel Blanc and Daffy Duck… and then I passed Azusa. I WISH I had a reason to go through Anaheim. This was certainly a Looney Tunes trip!
I finally reached the end – I finally went town to the beach AND onto the pier for photos – more squirrels… then it was off to LAX to get some dinner and get on a plane to Chicago!
