The former Sands Motel was a Scottish Inns when we shot this photo in
2012. This is a typical one story motel with a large canopy over the office
drive entrance. It's a common U shaped motel with a pool in the center
of the U. I haven't found a date for this motel, but I'd guess it was
built in the 1950s or 60s.

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.
