Happy Halloween, y’all!

Here’s a pointy roof – perhaps reminiscent of a witch’s hat? – to help with the celebrations.

round beds, you say?

…and this begins a bunch of posts with photos from my collaborative Route 66 project. Since October 2021, photographer VC Torneden and I have worked on a project we call The Other Side; we’re documenting the overlooked parts of Route 66, the small (and dying) towns, odd signage, and anything else that captures our attention.

It’s important to note that here in Barstow, you can find remodeled rooms AND round beds in the very same location. That’s a travel win, right there. Possibly.

We saw these gentlemen sitting outside, rewiring a light fixture. And like nearly everyone we encountered in Sicily, they were more than happy to have a chat with us, even though there wasn’t a common language.
