“There’s California just over the river, and a pretty town to start it. Needles, on the river.”
— John Steinbeck
Top: 66 Motel, Needles, Calif. Above: El Garces Hotel, “Crown Jewel of the Desert,” Needles.
The Palms Apartments, Needles.
“But the river is a stranger in this place. Up from Needles and over a burned range, and there’s the desert. And 66 goes on over the terrible desert, where the distance shimmers and the black center mountains hang unbearably in the distance.”
— John Steinbeck
