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. http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-046.jpg We stayed in #6 http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-044.jpg 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. http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-047.jpg Many of the units have an antique car parked out front. http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-049.jpg This is behind the office. http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-048.jpg So is this http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-050.jpg Old Pontiac http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-051.jpg http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-052.jpg http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-053.jpg http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-054.jpg 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. http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-056.jpg http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-057.jpg http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-058.jpg No way this one is road worthy! http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-059.jpg http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-060.jpg http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-061.jpg This is the best old car on the lot! http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Vaca...t-Trip-062.jpg Continued.. |

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 |

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 "'Mater"! |
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.

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..
