Two Bureau of Land Management-California employees were honored at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington last week for public land photography, according to the bureau’s newsletter.
One of them was Steve Razo (left in above photo), whose photo of Roy’s in Amboy was one of the recognized images.
Razo’s photo is of a well-preserved section of Route 66 that still provides travelers the experience of the “Mother Road” as it was in the 20’s and 30’s. Roy’s Café was one of the quintessential Route 66 roadside stops in the Mojave Desert.
