The drive down Rt 66 east-bound in Arcadia is one of the most charming and peaceful drives ever. It's beautiful any time of year, and it's exceptionally conducive to creative thinking. My husband and I love to take this drive on Sundays in fact, we wed at a vineyard just off of Rt. 66. There's also a tiny "abandoned" building that sits on the north side. All that's really left of this tiny structure, is it's mortar and stone, and the moss that grows along the sides of it. I'm intrigued by the colors and lines in the stone.
