In Amboy, California, just across the road from the iconic Roy’s Motel and Cafe, you’ll spot something unusual sticking up from the desert floor: the Clothing Post. Sometimes called the “Trash Pole,” this unofficial roadside stop has become a piece of ever-changing desert artwork. Travelers over the years have decorated the pole with shoes, shirts, hats, purses, and other odds and ends, turning it into a totem of Route 66 wanderlust.

Much like the now-gone Amboy Shoe Tree, the pole is part of a tradition where travelers leave a trace of their journey behind.
