After work here on Thursday late afternoon, we hit the road driving north on Highway 17. No time to stop, so we grabbed a quick photo from the moving car. Reaching Flagstaff a couple of hours later, we turn the car eastward as we have a date just 90 miles up the road.

Our destination is on old Route 66 at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona. Those of you who have seen the new Pixar film Cars will recognize the inspiration for the movie’s motel called Crazy Cones. We have stayed at these concrete teepees before, but still love the nostalgia they bring about.

The owners of the Wigwams have added some really nice T-shirts for sale since our last visit. If you have the time, you should look through their heavy book of clippings from various stories that have featured the Wigwam Motel over the years.

Dinner was taken at the Butterfield Stage Company Steakhouse. Boy, are we suckers for Americana.
