Coffee Along Route 66

062116

The sign on the door said “Open Tuesday.” It wasn’t clear if it referred to the upcoming Tuesday or a long-ago one.

I have my suspicions.

Diesel and happy hour

062016

It looks like all you can get here, at a no-name business, is part of some diesel and most of happy hour.

98

061916

Here’s a close-up from the same spot as yesterday’s post; somebody left their Oldsmobile 98 here, presumably for safekeeping. That might not have worked out quite like they’d planned.

What passes for a forest

061816

Don’t laugh, if you’re from somewhere that’s got actual trees.

Around here, this would be considered a wooded area.

Some day, I’ll explain our concept of “wetlands.”

Jalousie

061716

This was my first visit to Kress, Texas, even though I’d driven past it hundreds of times, which just goes to show what having a camera in your hand will lead you to do! Like drive a mile off the Interstate to make photos.

Anyway, I found a fantastic abandoned gas station. The glass was long-gone, of course, but the frames from the original jalousie windows were still there.
