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

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

Though it’s not a traditional vintage sign, Salv

Though it’s not a traditional vintage sign, Salvation Mountain definitely makes a statement. Just north of Mexico, in Niland, California, sits a hill made of adobe, straw, car parts, tree stumps, and lots and lots of paint. Salvation Mountain was first created in 1984 by a local resident from nearby Slab City, Leonard Knight, as a way to share the message of “God is Love”. Sadly, the first mountain collapsed, but he rebuilt in 1989 (and built and built), eventually creating the mountain that exists today. Although he passed away in 2014, his labor of love lives on through the countless volunteers that maintain the artwork and the many visitors that donate paint to keep the project alive. People and dogs on leash are welcome to explore the property and check out the different “buildings”, passageways, nooks, and crannies. A unique roadside attraction, Salvation Mountain is definitely worth a stop to admire someone’s vision to create a 50-foot high, 150-foot wide tribute to love. And also, because it’s kitschy as heck! #signsunday #roadsideamerica #visitcalifornia #finleysroadtrip #finewinecanine #tinsheets
