enjoying the texas panhandle Day 50: Shamrock, mc lean, alanreed

Moved on from Shamrock area after one more stop, or two, and you see the photos below. This structure was built in 1936 and had many years of success because it was the only place within many miles.  Like so many places we have seen they hit bad times.  Luckily the town of Shamrock took on the task of fixing it back and now serves as a museum and welcome center.  A little cooler than yesterday in the mid 90s today but more humid.  The 13 mph wind helped push me along. Enjoy a cooler day when you get it because tomorrow is predicted to be over  100 again.

Tower Station and Motel with the U=Drop Inn at Shamrock.

I remember Conoco service station as we traveled in my childhood. Why do I like the classic pumps?

This museum was once the Reynolds Hotel in Shamrock. Now it is a nice museum.

I was surprised about a World War II prisoner of war camps in the United States.  By the end of the war 425,000  war prisoners were housed across the US.  All but three states had a POW camp.  Most prisoners were German.

A view inside the Devil's Rope Museum in McLean. I never knew that there was such a variety.

These unique signs sure get your attention..

Is this out of the movie Cars?

This highway stretch looks so inviting.

My tent may not have much shade.
