I saw a few of those in Colorado … as well as this one:

Now, on a side note that really should serve as a safety notice to female photographers: when you venture out alone from the motor inn you’re staying at to take photos with an expensive DSLR and lens, always take your cell phone with you. Even if it has a low battery. And wear running shoes rather than flip flops … especially considering that sketchy people will eyeball you from the balconies of slightly sketchy motels you’re walking past. Its possible I may have not taken my own tips to heart in the process of photographing this and a few other rustic/vintage sights … no worries, nothing happened to moi!

The Big Texan – Amarillo, Texas

I’d love to say “I came, I saw, I conquered the 72 ounce steak” … but we’d eaten lunch about an hour earlier at the MidPoint Cafe in Adrian. Maybe next time I’m in Amarillo … I’ll have to starve for a day or two ahead of time so I can get the steak for free ;)
