1.6 miles into this leg we will take our first detour from the current alignment of sh 66 and run down a little stretch of old highway 66. there is some arguement over whether this was once the original alignment, but it is a really cool stretch of road with almost no traffic and we get to pass jim ross' house (on the left just after we leave sh 66, it looks like an old phillips 66 station).

at luther road we turn right (south) and run about 0.3 miles to the parking lot north of the fire station.

with a population of just about 600 souls, luther provides a number of vintage views as well as an opportunity to stop at the tres suenos vineyards and winery. here you can sample free wine tastings and take a tour on thursdays, fridays and saturdays. the winery is located at 19691 e. charter oak road. as you enter luther, keep your eyes open for several old gas stations including little brother's gas station and cold beer on the right. in luther’s tiny downtown district sits the historic engels dry goods store at 114 south main.
