In this video, we start out from Fenner, CA, and after crossing I-40, we come upon the major closure of U.S. Route 66 at Essex, CA, which runs to Chambless, CA. This is a 21 mile (34 km) section of road that is closed due to monsoonal storms that washed out several bridges.
For this reason, I have created a 3D camera flyover so that we can get a sense of the topography that we are missing. In order to get around this section driving eastbound, one must enter Interstate 40 either at Goffs Rd, which is where we went under the freeway in the beginning of the video, or one must make a right when one gets to the hard closure at Essex, CA. You can take Essex Rd northwest to I-40 from there.
Drive westbound on I-40 for maybe twenty miles, and then exit I-40 at Kelbaker Rd. Turn left (south) until you get back to U.S Route 66, which is about an eleven mile stretch southwards to the old route from I-40. From there, you are back on your way to Amboy, CA and points west.
I enjoyed driving this stretch a lot (Fenner to Ludlow) because I really got the sense of what it would have meant to be on the only main route, a two lane road, through the Mojave Desert. There are mountain ranges that you pass along the way as well as alluvial fans of sediment visible. The desert is a beautiful place. I hope that you enjoy the video.
Please note that this is one of the videos on Rapid Topography that will have mid-roll ad breaks. I only add these mid-roll ads to the larger projects that I do since they take a lot of time, effort, and fuel. The majority of daily drive videos on my channel do not have mid-roll ad breaks.
