It was late Sunday afternoon on Day One of my Route 66/I’m driving to Texas adventure. I was taking four days to drive from La Habra, Cal to McKinney, Texas. I figured that would give me a good amount of time to see some interesting places along the way. And that I did. As it turned out, however, I could have spent four weeks making the same drive; there is just so much to see along the way.

I had just arrived in Goffs, California and was wandering about to see what I could find. The town dates back to 1883 and came to life along with the railroads, first as a siding and later as a major stop and water station.
