If you’ve followed us for a while, you know that

If you’ve followed us for a while, you know that we love to seek out Muffler Men, the giant fiberglass statues that were frequently found outside gas stations, restaurants, and various roadside attractions in the 1960s. Although he’s not new, since he started life as a cowboy in Calgary, Alberta and then spent some time broken down in a junkyard in Edmonton, there is a new reassembled and refurbished man in town in Tulsa, OK- Buck Atom. In 2019, Buck Atom: Space Cowboy took his place standing over a gas station turned gift shop along Route 66 in Tulsa. At 21 feet tall and holding a giant silver rocket, he’s hard to miss and well worth the stop for a photo (Saxby insisted!). After you snap a photo, be sure to stop into Buck Atom’s Cosmic Curios for a souvenir and to support a new Route 66 business. We grabbed a Buck Atom ornament for our Christmas tree but dropped it while decorating, so it looks like we’ll need to head back and visit Buck again! #mufflerman #route66 #visitoklahoma #theredrascal #bringfido #tinsheets

You know those big blue signs along the interstate

You know those big blue signs along the interstates that advertise businesses at upcoming exits? Have you wondered how big they are? Well, they are approximately one Finley long and three lying down Finleys high (or 3’ x 4’ in normal measurements). We are dreaming of hitting the road and exploring, so we thought this was perfect for #FinleyFriday. #fbf #finewinecanine #wineswithaltitude #tinsheets

Saxby had a chance to do some training in Vail Village today. As you can see, he was successful and quite pleased with himself. #goodboy #sark9 #vaillive #visitvailvalley #tinsheets

Built in 1897, the Como Hotel, one of just two buildings constructed for the Denver Leadville and Gunnison Railroad, rose from the ashes of the former Como Eating House in Como, CO. The hotel was built on the foundations of and from the materials of the eating house that had burned down the year earlier. For the next forty years, the hotel served train travelers until passenger service was discontinued in 1937. After years of disuse, it was reopened in 1978 as a restaurant called the Como Depot. These days, the restaurant is no longer open, but some of the hotel rooms can be rented through Airbnb. #railroadhistory #roadsideamerica #colorfulcolorado #tinsheets
