In 1938, founder Roy Crowl opened Roy’s as a gas and service station along the legendary U.S. Highway 66, in Amboy. At the time, Route 66 was “The Mother Road” and “Main Street of America” – the primary east-west highway artery crossing the nation from Chicago through the Southwest to Los Angeles. The construction of Roy’s coincided with a Route 66 realignment through Mountain Springs Summit, bypassing Goffs to directly connect Needles and Essex, and west to Amboy. Amboy was once a major stop along famous Route 66 but has seen much lower visitation since the opening of Interstate 40 to the north in 1973. Amboy is home to the famous Roy’s Motel and Cafe, a Route 66 landmark.
Roy’s Cafe: Roy’s is a landmark on the above Route and attracts many photographers and visitors. Part of the lure is the huge sign.

The dominant geologic features of this landscape are hills of bare rock, usually broken up into loose boulders.
Palm Spring is at the east of the San Jacinto mountains
The Palm Springs area is unique, as the wind blows hard enough to power the windmills 300 days a year.
There is 3,100 windmills at the wind farm, which generates enough electricity (600-900 megawatts of power) to power the entire city of Palm Springs and some of the surrounding area.
