It’s not #SignSunday but today feels like a perf It’s not #SignSunday but today feels like a perfect day to share the vintage sign from the Holiday Motel in Kingman, KS. We can’t find any historical information about the motel, but it appears to be used for long-term housing now. Wishing all of our fellow vintage sign lovers and friends a very happy thanksgiving! #vintagesign #happythanksgiving #travelks #tinsheets

The motel appears to still be open for overnight and longer term stays. #signsunday #route66 #motherroad #vintageneon #tinsheets

On November 18, 1883 at noon in Chicago, IL, a new On November 18, 1883 at noon in Chicago, IL, a new standard time system for the US, known as Standard Railroad Time (SRT), was established by the railroads. Prior to the adoption of this standardized time, many towns set their time based on when the sun crossed their local meridian. With each locale setting its own clock, there were more than 300 “local solar times”, which caused problems, particularly for passengers trying to catch trains. Railroads tried to help make scheduling easier by establishing 100 railroad time zones. While this was considerably better than 300, it was still confusing and problematic. At the recommendation of a weather service chief, railroad operators adopted the four standard time zones as we know them 137 years today, though they didn’t become “official” until the 1918 Standard Time Act was passed. As we are big fans of trains, we always look for an opportunity to incorporate them into our travels. At the Railroad Park Resort in Dunsmuir, CA, you can spend the night in a caboose, which we did and highly recommend! #historyiscool #railroadhistory #visitcalifornia #tinsheets

Almost eight months after putting our house on the market and nearly seven weeks after becoming “homeless”, we have finally moved into our new home. And as if we aren’t already excited to be back in the mountains, this morning’s sunrise provided quite the beautiful welcome home! #wecanhandleit #vaillive #colorfulcolorado #tinsheets
