No, I didn't crash my Phantom. I was on the road over the weekend and visited Amboy, California. A railroad stop in the 1880s, the opening of Route 66 before World War II made it a Mojave Desert boom town. Today, it is mostly a ghost town, with an official population of 4. Amboy is also the location of a volcano that may have been active as recently as 500 years ago.
