Sockgirl of the glitter & the gleam blog has been thinking about driving Route 66. Her desire to hit the Mother Road further inflamed after receiving this e-mail from the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Ariz., about reservations.
Hello,
Yes, we have availability for those dates. We have kept the same original furniture since our father built the Wigwams in the late 1940’s. They have a full bathroom with a shower, cable TV, heat AC.
1. One Double Bed = $42.00 (With Tax $46.62) Sleeps Two Adults
2. Two Double Beds = $48.00 (With Tax $53.28) Sleeps Four AdultsWe NEVER EVER run a guest’s credit card until after they have arrived in person and have picked up their key. If we did not take credit cards, some people never bother to call back to let us know they are not coming. We do require a Visa or Mastercard only and the best time is after 4:00 PM at (928) 524-3048 FAX: (928) 524-9335 Fax is on 24 hrs.

P.S. In the area there is the Petrified Forest 25 miles away. Also, there is Hubble’s Trading Post (90 Miles) and Canyon De Chelly (120 Miles) drive from here at Ganado, Ariz., and Chinle, Ariz.., both are located on Hwy. 191 North on the Navajo Reservation. This is just north of Chambers, Arizona on I-40 fifty miles east of Holbrook on I-40.
The Grand Canyon is a three hour drive to or from the south rim of the Grand Canyon (180 Miles).
Wow. Not only does the Wigwam have the original furniture (which I did not know), but they’re pretty darned helpful with tourists.
Sockgirl then wrote: “For a girl fascinated with Route 66 and All Things Road Trip Culture Kitsch, that letter is incentive of the first order to hit the road. So I’ll be back on Route 66 soon enough. It’ll just take a few more weeks to get there.”
