Big Bob Kelley and the Grand Motel

Java Cycle

Williams, United States

Good coffee and tasty pastries @ Java Cycle (formerly a bike shop which put in a coffee machine and then discovered it sold more coffee than bikes). Promised Louise (the proprietor) that I'd mention it (Thelma nowhere to be seen).

John Lasseter got his inspiration for "Cars" from Route 66, particularly this gas station in Williams, AZ.

Legless and Toothless

Holbrook, United States

Came into town in darkness without a room booked. First place we tried (Desert Inn) had no rooms according to the legless proprietor (? 'Nam veteran), who suggested we try next door (Holbrook Inn). There, the dentally-challenged, stetson-wearing female owner offered a room for $40 (including something extra which I misheard, but turned out to be "tax"). Her ? daughter appeared to have an interested look in her eye. I inspected the room which smelt strongly of disinfectant, and politely declined the room to which she replied "I don't blame you". Most of the doors opened whilst I was inspecting the room so the other freaks and geeks could check me out. I'm sure I heard banjos playing in the background...
Found some where better without the possibility of nocturnal visitors down the road apiece.

My first "y'all" and tumbleweeds.

Holbrook, United States

We could have stayed in a wigwam!
Holbrook really should be renamed HOLEBROOK - no decent coffee, another dust storm of biblical proportions and tumbleweeds blowing through town.
Breakfast @ Jerry's with the "good old boys" from the "Blues Brothers".
It may be on Route 66, but I wish I'd never stopped her.
