Geocache Description:

Historic Route 66 traveled from Chicago to Santa Monica. Revisit a quiet part of our historic highway.

Potapov's Service Station and Auto Court Originally built in 1943 and now in ruins, this old stone gas station and auto court along the highway between Helendale and Oro Grande attest to busier days once. The unique stone work makes this an interesting reminder of the glory days of Route 66 in the area. Will it be around much longer to remind the passerby that there once was a busier day along this stretch of road? (Text taken from "cart66pf.org") Visit this site for more details. NOTE: Some time in 2008, they demolished the station. Well look across the highway (from the cache site) and there it used to be. Use your imagination. http://www.cart66pf.org/Map/66inland.htm
