Funky motels - many more to come

The way we travel there is no way to plan where we stay in advance.  Our trips are meandering affairs.  Daniel has his Android in a windshield mount and follows the satellite view of the terrain searching for interesting ecosystems.  So we follow that, not a plan.  Thus we don't know where we will end up at night.  Usually, in the late afternoon or even early evening, I will start doing a Google search for nearby motels.  And we take what we can get.  In this case, Daniel had spotted this place early in the day and knew we could circle back.  It was a real throwback.  Un-renovated and spartan.  But spacious and clean (enough).  And in a lovely setting with mountain views.  We both loved this sign.  We will post more of these as we go along.  The thing about off-the- interstate travel is that the motels are seldom national chains.  More character.  And more surprises too.
