Today was a short bike ride to the Hertz Rental car agency in San Bernardino, to pick up my rental car for the next ten days. Hertz Rental Car had generously, at no additional charge, upgraded me to a Prius to make my ride more economical and ecological. Initially I had wanted to ride the entire route 66, but without a support vehicle, to carry enough water in the extreme heat during the summer season, it was not recommended nor safe to ride this portion of the route. As it turned out temperatures ranged from 104'F to 111'F, which is average for this time of year. On my way to Flagstaff, I stopped for Lunch at Jimmy's broiler in Victorville and made some delightful new Blue planet fans. After lunch the Amboy crater was on the menu for a short hike in the heat, and a quick stop for some Route 66 nostalgia, at the newly renovated Roy's Cafe a little bit further down the road.
It was a pleasure to serve you, Mr. Van Prooyen. I checked your San Bernardino, CA rental in at Alexandria, LA for you and drove you and your bike back to your hotel. I admire what you're doing very much, you must be a very wonderful person. Thank you for allowing Hertz to serve you along your journey.
