Geocache Description:

Placed in honor of M. Mouser's birthday. Great place to stop on the long LV to LA drive and have a snack. If you do, raise a glass and toast the birthday boy.

The Summit Inn is a historic U.S. Route 66 roadside diner; one of the few of its kind left in Southern California.

Named because its original location was at the summit of the Cajon Pass between the westbound and eastbound lanes of US 66; the present location, immediately off the Oak Hill exit of Interstate 15 in Cajon Pass, Oak Hills, California, has been in operation since 1952 when Route 66 was rerouted along a somewhat lower elevation.

A vintage building which once served as a Texaco station remains on the property, although gasoline is no longer sold there.

The Summit Inn's small gift shop still sells leftover Texaco-related memorabilia and Route 66 souvenirs. A great many original metal oil company signs decorate the interior. Other signs include two circa 1939 Standard Oil signs featuring MICKEY MOUSE and a genuine reflectorized US 66 highway shield.

During the restaurant's operating hours, the original red neon "SUMMIT INN" sign flashes on and off to beckon drivers on present-day Interstate 15.

The menu at the Summit Inn is typical, inexpensive and satisfying roadside fare, including ostrich and buffalo burgers and strawberry shortcake a la mode. M&M Mousers really like stopping in at the Inn on their pilgrimages to Disneyland.

Congratulations to Snwlover79! First to Find!
