Dear Route 66 Enthusiast:My name is Kevin Wong and I am a professional travel and landscape photographer who lives in Joshua Tree, California. My business, Mojave Desert Excursions provides guided photo opportunity tours in and near the Mojave National Preserve and I often travel along Route 66 where it passes through the Mojave Desert.
Last week, I launched a funding campaign on Kickstarter.com
[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2069528519/route-66-the-mojave-...]
for a photographic essay book on the lives and faces of those who live on or
near the segment of Route 66 that passes through the Mojave Desert (Ludlow,
Amboy, Cadiz, Chambless, Essex, Goffs and Needles). I will also interview those
that work on the road, the tourists that travel the road, and the passionate
people that preserve and promote Route 66. This project will cost $3,000 and it
was selected by Kickstarter for its project vision and for the quality of reward
gifts. Yes, as a pledge patron you will receive a reward gift for each level of
pledge! There are only 45 days open for this project, so don't delay...please
make a pledge now and send me on the road to record the lives and faces
on "Route 66 - the Mojave Experience". You can make a pledge of $1.00 or more by clicking here
[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2069528519/route-66-the-mojave-...].
If you find this project inspiring and worthy, please forward this email to
your friends and networks. I am open to any and all recommendations and
suggestions to this project.
You can follow the project on facebook: "Route 66 - the Mojave Experience"
Thank you,
Kevin Wong

Something we have forgotten with the advent of affordable plane travel. Encounter different cultures, historical sites and a myriad of welcoming and interesting people.
