Here's a blog from the bottle tree farm. There are a lot more photos on the internet if you look up bottle tree, route 66, bottle tree man, etc. Linda

Here is a link that might be useful: The Bottle Tree Blog

That's very interesting....
I had known about this before, but will enjoy
reading the blog when I have time. Thanks
for taking the trip and showing us all the things!

That is so cool! I never thought about using insulators. I got some this week at auction. Thanks for posting that!

Linda your photos are great! And JT appears to be having a great time as usual.

How long did it take JT to finish off all the 'liquid' in those bottles for the guy to use? She is such a V A M P!

I really like the insulators. Those things are like gold here! Looks like you had a great time!

WONDERFUL POST!!! Thanks for the pics!!!

That is the INFAMOUS "T. J." !!!!!! Out "runnin' the roads" with Ms Linda.

Oh so cool day trip. Love the pic of you and the artist.

I did Route 66 with my son a few years back.Lots of interesting things!!!!!Thanks for the shots

There must be not one evil spirit within 100 miles of his place lol ....

LOL, the evil twin (TJ) strikes again. She just can't stay away from booze bottles can she? Too funny. We're going to have to send her to some AA meetings pretty soon. Its neat she got to hang out with the famous Bottle Tree Man!
I bet that was a blast.

hugs, Karen

How fun was that! I have seen his bottle trees online before and thought it would be awesome to see in person. I always wanted to do like Tod Stiles and Buz Murdock and travel along Route 66 to see the country. I just need some time, money and a Corvette. Thanks for sharing a piece of Americana!

Oh, Luna, you don't want to go Route 66 in a Corvette. !st stop you wouldn't be able to get out of it. You are almost laying down. Most uncomfortable vehicle I've ever been in. Cousin had a 1958 or 59 turquoise & white one, paid a fortune for tuck & roll black leather seats. I hated that thing, we "cruised" Van Nuys Blvd in summer of 1962, either the cops were stopping us (her flaming mane of red hair helped) & they wanted to look it over or sit in it. Or she was tailgating or racing down the street. Drove like her mom-crazy!!! Looked great- sold it to movie star & turned around & bought it back couple yrs later. Bottle trees are great! Love the lantern on top!! Glad the man got creative with bottles, some have quite a history. Glad you had a great day at the bottle place Linda & got to take TJ & get pics & 1 with the artist!! Jan

No, it is not the bottles she is attracted, it is his junk yard huh Linda. Rest is eye candy compared. What fun you must have had.

Oh, sewandsew...this is a man who ENJOYS his calling! The pic of Elmer (on your photo link) shows it ALL! Thanks for sharing this day trip! WOW! Jeanne S.

Well, I lived in Taft, CA for ten years (armpit of America) and when I first glanced at those bottle trees (don't get me wrong, I have 3 myself and love 'em)... all I could see were oil derricks!!! If you've ever seen west hills oil derricks you'd know what I mean...probably Texas has them too... but they are all lined up and many of them...glad to be in northern Ca now..Rt 66 is nostalgic too, but you'd have to love the desert to live in Victorville, and the heat...
You did great on the pics.. thanks for sharing..

Just wait until next year!!! TooMuchGlass will have her welding skills honed and her yard will look just like that. LOL TooMuchFun!!!!!
