Enjoyed the collection and story behind the collection of old RV's and camping paraphernalia. Brought back a lot of memories of camping as a kid. Fun stop and thanks to Jack for putting this together and keeping it free to the public!

This is a really nice building with very nice bathrooms. The hostess was very helpful and maps were just lying out for the taking. They have a nice brochure on Route 66 with historical information. I was mostly interested in a location to stop for lunch later on, but it was fun to follow along in the brochure during the drive. Looked like a nice spot for a picnic as well ... despite rattlesnake warnings. Heh!

My wife took me to get my first pair of cowboy boots for my 40th birthday. The associates were super friendly, helpful and steered me in the right direction to get my boots. Huge selection of boots and jeans. Would recommend this store to all my friends and family.

This offbeat roadside attraction features 10 graffiti-covered Cadillacs standing upright in a row, buried nose-first in the ground. The sculpture is the brainchild of Amarillo millionaire Stanley Marsh III, who chose classics dating from 1948 to 1963, the "Golden Age" of the American automobile.

My wife is an art teacher and artist so we need to stop here. It was nice. They had exhibits of local artists, and we enjoyed our time here.
