    I'd LOVE to get my kicks on Route 66.

    Those old motels? Awesome.

    Roadside relics of a bygone era, sadly deteriorating in the desert sun. Buildings of glorious brick, steel, wood, and stone bypassed by the cement interstate and the plastic cities along the way. A lonely two lane road now, that once saw a million dreams drive through, visited by a curious shadow of a man with a camera, experiencing his own personal Twilight Zone.

    Genoa, Colorado. A high point (figuratively and literally) just off of I-70 between Denver and the Atlantic Ocean. They boast that you can see six states from atop the tower.


    Inside the tower, there is a collection of all kinds of weirdness like this two-headed calf.

    This is a brick window (without glass) with a view towards the desolate Painted Desert. Am I looking out towards the Abyssal plain, or is the creator looking in on me?
