Route 66, Danby, CA

East < GO > West

This is the former Danby Service Station and dates back to the 1930s. They also had a few cabins. There is not much more than the old gas station and a few other buildings in Danby.

x When you're traveling old Route 66 you never know where a mural will show up. This one on the front of the old gas station in the photo above this is a great example of that. The mural is about pioneer day trappers in a forested area with mountains, snow and a lake. Wishful thinking in the desert?

x The old house is located on Route 66 just past the intersection with Danby Rd.

xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
