i came across this location driving back from the 'snow shoot' route 66/holbrook az

Welcome to Arizona! a peek of the country side around Holbrook AZ (my sleep over stop).

skies clearing ..... back on the road in the am. buckaroo baby!

snow day for the Roaming Red Rocker. went back to the Blue Swallow Motel, and shot a portrait with the '51 Chieftain Catalina Pontiac. thxs to owners Kevin & Nancy for letting us roam the property..

The road ended in Tucumacari New Mexico. Had the chance to take a shot of a classic route 66 motel. Here is a brief description, but google it...."The Blue Swallow Motel was built in 1939 by W. A. Huggins. It features a unique, personal shell design on the exterior stucco. Garages, a signature of motor courts of the era, are another unique characteristic of this motel".

stormed stayed in kansas / decided to take this shot of main street. the following from the local archive.. "Known as the "Waldorf of the Prairies," the hotel became headquarters for heads of wealthy cattle firms before the turn of the century. "It's spacious corridors and spindled patios were constantly thronged with booted and spurred cowmen. Cattle deals amounting to millions of dollars have been transacted over the long table in the great inner court."
