Update: Photos of Ludlow and the Bagdad Cafe in Newberry Springs after the October 16, 1999 7.0 Hector Mines earthquake.
Coming up the street is Mug Wumps, which appears to be a reseller of sorts. If you need to make a stop as you travel through, Daggett Gas Station is available for gas tank fill-ups and Daggett Restaurant for stomach fill-ups.
After another unknown abandoned building is Anderson's Chevron, with petrol pumps currently surrounded by weeds and brush. Anderson's closed around 1997.
Across the street from this old petrol pump is
Newberry Market, an unforgettable place to stop and freshen up.
As you travels towards the eastern Many thanks to Mike Lepker for identifying Anderson's Chevrolet and providing info
The next stretch in your travels is the Newberry, Bagdad Route 66 run, a nice stretch of straightaway highway. Before you get too far, check into the Bagdad Cafe, the site of the movie of the same name. Although the real Bagdad cafe is further up the road, this site is full of good stories. Just a hundred yards up the street is an old auto garage called Tonys. Gas pumps in decent condition still stand guard over a fading building. Traveling out of this area, you'll encounter the Bagdad Hut, a building with a definite Polynesian look to it.
The next town you'll encounter is Ludlow. But before you can reach Ludlow, you'll see the Pisgah Crater on the right side of the street. This volcanic looking dune is easy to mistake for the Amboy Crater, so be careful.
Ludlow is a town that contains a new section still bustling with activity as well as an old area full of nostalgia. Entering Ludlow, you first pass a Dairy Queen, duck under Hwy-40, and run straight into the newer area. Located here is Ludlow Motel, a garage, and a Coffee Shop.
More sleeping quarters beckon to the weary travel as you reach the end of Needles. Motels along this pike include the , Le Brun Motel, Kiva Motel, , El Rancho Motel, Western Motel, and the Sage Motel. (Update! The Kiva Motel is now a Budget Inn - Mike Lepker)

Stop by if you're ready for some cocktails and dancing or if you just
want to shoot some pool or throw darts. Tired from your late night
out on the town, stop for the night at the Henning Motel.
