TRASH TRAIN HEADING FOR AMBOY


Amboy Crater is a natural landmark of the Mojave Desert and
Historic Route 66.  The site is being threatened by plans for
a giant garbage heap created by the transport of up to 21,000
tons per day of trash and garbage.  A large nearby reservoir of
clean groundwater exists and is also threatened by this project. 
Amboy Crater is located in the California Mohave desert halfway
between Needles and Barstow and is on Route 66.  

An FTP site is currently being developed for the California
Historic Route 66 Association.  It stores the four 1994 editions
of Roadsigns, the Association Newsletter, as well as addresses
for the other Associations and a description of the Archives
Project.  For more information on the Amboy garbage dump project
and to find out how you can help, see article by Geoffrey Willis:

There are a number of international clubs and associations 
around the world that focus on Route 66 and the collection of
memorabilia, history and anecdotes about the Road.  For an
example of international interest in our "Old Route 66" see the
WWW site in Belgium:

The FTP site also contains the Helendale Rendezvous Keepsake
publications.  Helendale is a town in California that is on old
Route 66.  Some neat stories about life on the Mojave desert in
the early days.
