Unfortunately the only thing left of Rolar's Route 66 Gas Station are some trees, and lots of metal remnants scattered about.

The plaque reads:
"This was as close as Hesperia got to Route 66. In 1940, Leroy and Della Rolar opened a service station cafe on this property to help service increasing motorists needs along Route 66. State Hwy 31-C became US Route 66 in 1928. Actually nothing changed then, only the roadway name. The station lasted until 1949 when it was closed."
