Texas

Out exploring on the moto, I stopped at a neat old tourist court to snap some pics of my bike and the gas station.  For those folks too young to remember tourist courts, they were basically roadside hotels that had amenities close by – gas, food, etc.  From the places I’ve seen or read about, they were basically little bungalows tucked in at the side of the roadway.  Supposedly, this place had nefarious visitors in the form of Bonnie and Clyde….

Had to give it a retro touristy feel, of course; hope you don’t mind!
