Hey Guys & Gals,

It's time to share the petro relics that we've stumbled across in our recent travels, and check out what other people have found as well.

If you would like to contribute to this feature, simply post the pictures here or email them directly to me and I will post them for you. Be sure to include a story or description with your submissions.

If it's too close to the next installment, please note that I may hold your contribution for posting when the new FATW comes up on the 5th day of each month.
Send 'em in!!

Happy trails!

Wes

Tara and I went on a short vacation out to Arizona a couple weeks ago. I didn't bring home any petro goodies, but did see some neat things.

You find some pretty odd things out in the desert... We stumbled across this bizarro Mobil station out near Meteor Crater.

Not far away lie the remains of the Twin Arrows Trading Post and Cafe. This Route 66 icon is in crumbling ruins. It's really sad to see it let go like this. With the resurgeance in Route 66 interest lately, it would probably be a moneymaker.

It just so happened that a hotel we stayed in featured a Sinclair station - not a common sight - for us from Illinois at least...



The Dino was hungry for some ice cream:



There were lots of neat old stations in Flagstaff, but I just didn't have the time to photograph them. There were at least 12 in a 3-mile stretch.


So, what have you guys seen lately??

Here are some pictures I took of a collection I ran into about a few hours after I got off of the plane. Super RARE signs in the first two photos.
