This is a great looking sign that is so typical of the style of motel signs along the old Mother Road. The neon needed some work when we snapped this photo in 2012. It'd be nice to see the sign lit up again.

x The motel has been closed since 1992. Part of the motel was built in the 1960s when 7 units were moved from their original spot at Foss. It is located at Route 66 & First. The motel is named after the county that Canute is in, Washita.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
