Holbrook, Arizona

Our goal this evening, was to check into the Wigwam Motel before it closed. We had plenty of time. We were here in May of 2012. This was the farthest point west on the route we came on our spring trip, as we had only a week to travel. While we were here in the spring, we met up with Clifton Lewis, one of the family members who owns this iconic route 66 landmark.
Here are a few dashcam pictures we took as we drove into Holbrook at night. Route 66 comes off the highway east of town and is a strip road. There are a few great neon googie signs and some great photo opportunities of places that have seen better days on the east end, if you are into that kind of thing.

| Route 66 takes a sharp turn in Holbrook, Arizona. In this picture we are heading south, and then at the light, the road takes a right turn and heads west. On the southeast corner is a bus station, which is a famous route 66 landmark. I found a page with a bunch of old postcards here http://route66.atwebpages.com/rppc/azeast.html if you care to look. Also, check out the vintage post cards here... http://nostalgia.esmartkid.com/azroute66pc3.html |

Our goal for the evening came into view -- a welcoming neon beacon promising a cozy room. We got here with plenty of time to visit the gift shop/museum and to buy souvenirs. Suyen was tired from the road and in a bad mood, so she stayed in the room while I shopped. The gift shop was open until late, but closed in the morning until about 4 pm, so it is very important if you want to visit the gift shop to do it when you arrive, because, when you check out it will be closed. Check out consists of leaving your room key on the hook by the door and leaving, which is old school. Here are a few links....

The woman attending the gift shop was very patient with me as I shopped in the gift shop. Suyen was too tired to go in, so I had to guess her size, which I am lousy at. I got Suyen a t-shirt, which I had to exchange for another sized shirt, which was ok with the person behind the counter who worked with me on the shirts.
I walked around the motel to get some night time photos of the Wigwam motel...

I heard coyotes while taking these pictures.
We got up fairly early the next morning and got some pictures.

| Our next door neighbors at the Wigwam. When you travel route 66, you will see the same people over and over again. We met these people at several places along the route. |
