Just back from a route 66 road trip
Love the mini-series, and got back from a Route 66 road trip, so now I'm all fired up again after hanging out in Gallup, New Mexico.
Starting in on my object collection.....

Re: Just back from a route 66 road trip
Well, I didn't manage to find the sunshine motel near Gallup, so I don't think I could be an object. :-)
I did see other motels in Gallup, and some sunshine motels other places though.
And we stayed overnight in the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, which was excellent an reminded me a lot of the Lost Room...

Great pics and I bet you guys had a blast!
As for Gallup... wow. It looks just like the kind of place where the fabric of reality could be ripped apart and no one would ever notice.

Yes, those are great pictures. They really add to my appreciation of the setting. I can just see a tourist asking, “Where is the seediest lodging in town? I want to have that true Sunshine Motel experience!”
