Motels & other signs

It took me way too long into our trip to decide that I wanted to document part of it by taking photos of all the Motels along the way. Why? Because their signs are awesome, and there are tons of them. Unfortunately, I didn’t commit myself to this until we got to Wyoming. So, next time I do this, I’m going to do nothing but take photos of Motel signs. For now, here’s some of what I’ve got:

Kemmerrer, Wy
Keep in mind that most of these were taken while riding by, so if the exposure’s all off and it looks blurry, it’s because I’m not trying to stop while taking photos.

Lander, wy

Not a motel, but a great sign.

Not a motel or a sign, but an awesome buffalo sculpture

The Fontenelle Store
The Fontenelle Store, deceptively, was open for business. The guy inside pointed us in the direction of the campsite we stayed in two nights ago, and told us that the dirt road running out of it would shave 8-12 miles from our trip the next day. And it did…but it sure wasn’t paved…costing us just as much time as those extra 8-12 miles would’ve taken. On the plus side, our bikes didn’t fall apart.

You were where when you had those fabulous looking meals? there is life outside of NYC!
It’s a bummer I didn’t know about this. I could have directed you to the super sweet Super 7 Motel that’s downtown here in Twin Falls. I’m still a little confused by it…
I mean, for one thing, you’re risking getting sued by Super 8. And, for another thing, if you’re going to rip off Super 8, why not go with Super 9 for superiority’s sake instead of Super 7 for (what it actually is) ghetto Super 8.
I like that Lander, WY is advertising “eated poo.”
I don’t know you, but I’m really enjoying the vicarious tour. Keep up the blogging!
