Have You Slept In A Wigwam Lately?
 

I have. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]

Spent the first two day of my vacation taking a mini tour on Rt 66 east of Flagstaff. Not much left, but there are quite a few stops to check out. We ended up spending a night at the Wigwam in Holbrook, AZ. Took a few photos of the place.

We stayed in #6

The place is no resort, just a comfortable place to sleep, shower, and drive on to your next destination. Definitely cozy inside. Can't believe families would stay inside one of these.

Many of the units have an antique car parked out front.

Storms were all around us, but it never rained in Holbrook.

At one time, there were many Wigwam parks. This one is #6 and is the only one still operating.

Neat old Mobil gas station less than a block away.

That's all for tonight. It appears I missed a car show by one day, as there was a big show one day prior.

Our family stayed at the same Wigwam village in 1953 when we made our epic trip out west.

Cosy is right, but at the time I was only a child, and therefore everything looked a lot larger. I recall being satisfied to sleep on a fold up cot. Yeah. http://www.greensmilies.com/smile/sm...ns_thumbs1.gif

Great stuff Rick! Right out of &quot;Cars&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

LOL, Bruce, I was just going to post that, lol.

I wonder if that is where they got their inspiration for the movie?

That truck does looks suspiciously like &quot;'Mater&quot;!

Re: Have You Slept In A Wigwam Lately?
 

Great shots Rick. Thanks!

Re: Have You Slept In A Wigwam Lately?
 

Love those shots with the threatening skies! Never stayed there, but have visited it twice while passing thru Holbrook. First time, in '99, I don't recall them having all the antique cars on site....but I could be mistaken.

Re: Have You Slept In A Wigwam Lately?
 

Cool shots, and my kind of accomodations. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I'm surprised the 2 door Ranch Wagon hasn't been snapped up!

Looks like a place the Griswolds would have stayed at in Vacation..

We drove by there a couple of years ago and the place looked closed up..... maybe it was the wrong time of year as it was around Thanksgiving.
