The Painted Desert Inn is one of my favorite national park buildings. After construction in 1924 it evolved from a Route 66 way-stop and inn to almost being torn down at least twice, and now it operates as a museum and bookstore. It's location on the edge of a cliff in the center of the large expanse of the painted desert, the pueblo style it has evolved into, and the style that so fits its location make it a beautiful example of how buildings can fit into their environment. There are several photos here, including the interior, some stained glass skylights, and a closer look at the building and the its view of the painted desert.

Sydeny Cassels leading a group of cars in the 1st race of the May weekend at . Sydney had a great start to the season as she finished 8th in this race. The other three cars, Dan Viskari, John Hughes and Will Lin finished within 1.3 seconds, and it looked like some great racing along the way for them. We've noticed this about this series, it doesn't matter where you are in the field there's racing to be done and it looks like a lot of fun.

A painted desert view from highway 180 south of Holbrook, Arizona. Water is everything in the desert, this windmill feeds a pond that supports a cattle herd - we could see them watching us somewhat suspiciously when we stopped to get some photos. Red earth, blue skies, green desert plants - the colors of arid landscapes.

Turn 3, lap 1 action from the May race weekend at . The first lap has a feeling of potential chaos as the cars are not yet spread out, and everyone is looking for that opportunity to gain some positions while the field is more tightly packed together. The sounds are wild from this location.

A panorama from the Jasper Forest view point in Petrified Forest National Park. It is 3 mirles to the mesa in the background, and probably double that from side to side of the photo. This is a big landscape, and although I normally focus on the actual petrified wood it made sense to get a perspective on the size of the area. If you look closely you can see brown chunks of petrified wood completely across the scene, and that's just what is on the surface of the ground. Underneath there are many, many completely petrified trees.

Paul Buchmann, Danny Chase, and Mitch Cooper lead race number 2 last month at Only a few days now until the June race weekend, looking forward to that. I really enjoyed working turn 3 through 5 with photographer Jason Zuck - fun to exchange ideas about what works.

Jaysen Inverarity leads a blizzard of white cars up the hill to turn 7 last month at , a shot that made me laugh when I saw it today. I'm in the process of catching up on the Radicals series photography, which I put aside while doing the route 66 trip over the past 4 weeks. My role is to be able to identify and sort out the cars in the photograph, and these guys link up in a train that makes that pretty much impossible!! Looking forward to picking up this series next week, back in the Okanagan.

After a month of continous travel updates on social media it has been a bit quiet from this end as I've focused on finalizing some things after coming home. As I explained in a newsletter that went out today I've been updating the Route 66 website djroute66.com with about 500 photos and videos shot over the past 3 weeks of travel from Chicago to Los Angeles on the historic Route 66 alignments, those updates are now available in the state-by-state pages of djroute66.com. Also, if you aren't receiving the newsletters that show up a few times each year you can signup on my websites using the contact page or contact me through messaging on social media. I hope you enjoy the photos and videos - let me know your thoughts on doing this epic journey.

Finishing a day in Los Angeles at Griffith Park Observatory with the Hollywood sign on one side, and a great view of Los Angeles on the other side was a great way to enjoy our post route 66 adventure. Having perfect 75 degree sunny weather was quite acceptable.
