Just down the road from The Rock is this teepee on private property.

    I wonder what the teepee is for, decoration? Camping? Are they American Indians who use it for something? Scouts? It’s a neat looking thing.

    Last time I took I-40 to California, I tried to stay at the Wigwam motel in Holbrook, Arizona. But it was closed, had to go find a regualr motel. I don’t think they’re open all the time. The day I drove past, the motel was closed and there were vintage automobiles parked, one in front of each wigwam. Was a cool retro statement from that motel’s past.

    Here’s the URL for the one in Holbrook:

    And here’s to the one in Kentucky:

    I understand there used to be several, but these may be the last two standing. I thought there was a third, but don’t know where it is, if it exists.
