Rhode Island. June 2023.

Golden Motel (Explore) by This cool relic to a long-abandoned…

Nothing but shattered dreams. The white late 60s Pontiac Catalina remains in front of the old Texaco gas station perhaps still waiting for its owner who sadly met his end during a robbery in the mid 70s. A snapshot in time in Glenrio Texas. #roadsidepeek #pontiac #catalina #glenrio #texas #modtexas #route66 #panhandle #roadsideamerica #iconic #openroad #gas_food_lodging #wanderlust #wow_america #ontheroadagain #timeless #madeintexas #somewheremagazine #abandoned #ghosttown #exploring_shotz #picoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CdlVAj3rcwD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inktober day 2. Scurry. This turned out like a tourist trap t-shirt from the southwest, but I kind of like it.

Happy New Year’s Eve! 🎉 To begin 2023 out on the right path, I’ve decided to head west in a few weeks to meet many of my nomadic friends in 🌵 Arizona. 🚐💨 I’m excited, but also nervous due to some social anxiety. Most of my anxiety occurs in anticipation of meeting people (like now and on my roadtrip), and for a short period of time when I first meet people or attend a gathering. (I hide it well.) Then, I get WILD and CRAZY! 😜😂 Seriously though, I become my normal, trippy self. I’ll be meeting a friend in Texas, Lindy's Weekend She Shed, to caravan with her… I’m incredibly thankful for her generosity! I’m taking Steve Warden’s wise advice to “Do the thing on your list that you're least comfortable doing, or choosing. Broaden your experiences and live it up!” Thanks Steve! Then, I’ll do some sightseeing on my way back to Orlando, where I’ll go to a few more Disney parks 🏰, and meetup with some old and new friends before driving back to Georgia. After that, maybe a new fur baby… 🐶🐾🐱? Thanks to everyone who gave me the support and advice (and laughs) that I needed to arrive at this decision! ❤️ Let’s make 2023 an incredible year! Hugs! 🤗 Please have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve! 🥂🎊 I’ll be at home wearing my unicorn 🦄 PJs, watching movies, and checking Facebook. #trippintraci #staytrippy #quartzsite #quartzsitearizona #arizona #roadsideamerica #roadtrip #roadtrips #dessert #vanlife #rvlife #travelwithme #nomads #nomad #travelusa #travel #travelvloggers #travelvlogs #youtubers #youtubechannel #youtubevideos #youtubevideo #youtube #youtuber (at Quartzsite, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2Oq3nOeCR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Larry's Chili Dog; Burbank, CA; February 13, 2022. I've posted an iPhone photo of this sign before, but I decided to give it another try with my #PentaxMESuper. Also, check out the secondary signage as well. #VintageSigns #Vintage #VintageSign #RetroSigns #RetroSign #Signs #SignsOfInstagram #SignsOfTheWorld #VintageSignsRule #EverythingSignage #VintageNeon #VintageNeonSign #VintageNeonSigns #Neon #NeonSign #NeonSigns #RoadsideAmerica #Americana #Photography #FilmPhotography #ShotOnFilm #filmphoto #FilmCommunity #35mm #ShootFilmUnder1000 #Pentax #PentaxMESuper #MyDadsOldCamera (at Larry's Chili Dog) https://www.instagram.com/p/CanaaO-BplN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the Dairy Queen Well Abba didn’t quite sing it this way however thanks to public pressure in 2016 the vintage neon Dairy Queen sign was saved from becoming another milk run plastic sign replacement. Word is this Dairy Queen was established in the late 50’s or 1960 depending on what you hear.

Fun Fact: the “100% REFRIGERATED AIR” slogan on the Cozy Cone’s neon sign in Pixar’s Cars is in reference to the same slogan included in green on the real life neon sign for the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, NM
