    That's at the Hackberry General Store that "Vintagehotrods" posted pics of a few posts later.

    Here's a place in Arizona on old 66 between Oatman and the Hackberry store

    Graceland Too - in Hollysprings, MS. Supposedly you can knock on the door 24/7 and the owner will give you a five buck tour of his extensive Elvis memorabilia collection. Of course nobody answered when we tried.

    We just got home from a 6000 mile road trip - Portland, Oregon to Nashville, Tennessee and back. One of our favorite stops this time out was Stewart's Petrified Wood outside of Holbrook, Arizona.

    Great Thread. This is what I'm shooting for when the convertible is done. Just two lanes, diners and a lot of "Americana".
