The setting sun cast an orange glow on the ridge east of Truxton.

The Orlando Motel had seen better days.

My shadow stretched across Route 66.

On the way back from dinner, I saw the Frontier Motel from the west, with the mountains as an imposing backdrop.

This Frontier Cafe sign (on the far right above) was once a sign for an Enco gas station. Enco was a short-lived brand (1960's to early 1970's?) of Standard Oil of New Jersey, eliminated when the company gave its service stations (which operated under  several different brands across the country) a new name, Exxon.

Though " TV" is placed prominently on the motel sign, I didn't think three channels were much to brag about.

The sunset made these colors much richer than in broad daylight.

This car skeleton and sign were at Cowgill's on the west edge of Truxton. The sign listed all of the towns named in " (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," the classic song written by Bobby Troup and performed by dozens, including Chuck Berry, Nat King Cole and the Rolling Stones.
