  2. These old quonset buildings were available after WW II. Perhaps that is when the Zephyr station was built? Unfortunately the "service" station is rapidly becoming historic. Gas stations no longer change tires, do tune ups, install belts and hoses. It now requires an appointment at a mechanic or dealer.

  6. Great find! I did most of Route 66 as a kid with my grand parents. I don't remember very much of it though. The California and Arizona part I know fairly well because we like to spend a lot of time in the desert during the cooler days of winter.

  11. Old,dilapidated buildings always look interesting and attractive and full of stories. What I don't understand is why the same isn't true of my house when it gets in a muddle.
