This man is a must meet on route 66. No way to describe him. Let's just say we just wanted to take a picture of his gas station and stayed for almost two hours.

One of the offbeat attractions that I weirdly enjoyed. We met the owner, Gary. He was so full of information about route 66. He was such a sweetheart. It was pretty nice that we could definitely feel that he has so much love for the road. He is also very knowledgeable about the things the you can do in the surrounding areas. You can buy shirts from his shop, too. Definitely one happy place.

The owners were very friendly. So much to see! You really get the old Route 66 feel from being there. This is a must see if you are on RT 66

We visited here in August 2018 and loved it. The owners were so sweet and inviting. They were holding a picnic with the local church to raise funds for some needed improvement for the church. Great vintage items to look at, great food from the parishioners that day. It would be great to go back. The owners truly love the garage and home/land and you can tell.
