    Forgotten America, The Mini Series.
    Here we go again. I found this great old motel while driving around the other day.
    I guess it speaks for itself, no rooms available today(if they could only talk!)
    enjoy

      Mikie don't be so picky you got free wasps,snakes,critters all night to keep you company :-) But the price is right . I love it ! I think I stayed in that one once in TX and left in middle of night spooked tight outta there . Something was moving around . I know it was that under the bed gremlin that followed me from Ca and lives with you now . Check under your bed tonight !

      he's not here anymore, seems he got a paying gig somewhere out west, in some high-end motel, said the place looked perfect for him, native rock structure, windows galore, cactus & yucca gardens, low traffic count, its great!
      Im doin it again, arnt i? sorry packrat.

      This should answer any questions:
      "Rooms to let fifty cents
      No phone no pool no pets
      I ain't got no cigarettes
      Ah but, two hours of pushing broom
      Buys a eight by twelve four bit room"
      Thank you very much Manikin, adkmetalman, ho2cultcha, eye4beauty , mikielikesigns2 , PhilDavidAlexanderMorris , AmberRose, walksoftly & musikchoo

      Kevin, sorry, no old lady. This is actually in the process of becoming an historical site. From what I understand this was quite a resort at one time. What I photographed was just the office. The entire resort is behind a fence, you can just see it from the fence. There was nobody around and I did not want to trespass. In case anybody wants to see it, it is on US Highway 87, between Brady, Texas and the San Saba River bridge.
      mikielikesigns2, I guess you forgot to use Hotels.com.
