Remembering the Past: Rte 66 Memorabalia

Challenge #10 in the Remembering the Past series. Hosted by libertylady.

Challenge has finished

I have just returned from a long absence and took a long drive down Rte 66 in AZ, NM, and TX. There are a lot of memorabalia along that rte from when the "Mother Road" was alive and well (before I40). It could be a building, sign, or anything that depicts the essence of these memories. Without this, the entry will be disqualified. Have fun.

My first time to see these signs on the road - driving from Joshua Tree heading to Las Vegas Thanksgiving of 2010 - the only light source was my headlamps.

no matter how this image was created - it certainly doesn't deserve the 1st place in this (or any other) challenge.

I'm not sure anyone looked at this full size - it looks like a frankenphoto made with MSPaint

I guess the very bad noise in the sky is because it is not from the same image as the road which was taken at ISO 640 ?
