Wig Wam!

I promised some fun... here it is. While on a trip to SoCal, Pat and I stayed at the Wig Wam Motel, which is on the original Route 66 http://www.wigwammotel.com/

We first spotted the Wig Wam Motel while on a trip to SoCal for a niece's wedding. The freeway was under construction and while on a detour, we saw this place and had a good chuckle.

Flash forward - we were going to San Bernadino to attend the funeral of Past District President and his wife, who had died within about 48 hours of each other. Pat said "let's stay at the Wig Wam!" and we did.

This place, one of seven Wig Wam Motels, is on Route 66 in Rialto, CA (which is a total dog of a town, by the way). It has 19 30' teepees on the property. There are only three of these motels left. One in CA, one in AZ and one in KY. We were pleasantly surprised. Although built in 1949 and the bathroom is original, our wig wam was large inside, super clean and very comfortable. Oh, this place is operated by Indians, too...... the Patels, who were super nice.

So, I leave you with this classic picture. Me in my bunad in front of our wig wam. Yes, we were on our way to a funeral, but both Roy & Inger had a good sense of humor, so I know they would've had a laugh out of it. (If you click on the pics, they enlarge).
