The former Rio Siesta Motel is on the north side of Gary Blvd. a 1/4 mile
or so west of the Mohawk Lodge
Trading Post. There was a great neon sign here but it blew down in
a storm several years ago and was moved to storage for the future Billboard
Musem in Oklahoma City.

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
Did
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.
