Seligman, Arizona

While working as a car transporter, for the worst company to work for, I had the opportunity to drive further on I-40 (Route 66) than I ever did before. I had to take a car from Arkansas, to Penaluma, California. This was in the summer of 2008 I believe when gas prices were $4.00 per gallon and up! I stopped in Seligman, Az to take a few photos and the gas in the small desert gas station was $5.40 per gallon. Talk about crazy! However I did not want to be stranded out in the desert and eventually have buzzards picking at my eyes and remains. So I paid the $5.40 per gallon. Most expensive tank of gas I ever bought.

A cool, retro sign. It reminds me of a more innocent time in American history.
