I know it was that under the bed gremlin that followed me from Ca and lives with you now . Check under your bed tonight !

This should answer any questions:
"Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone no pool no pets

Ah but, two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight by twelve four bit room"

"Honey, this looked different in the brochure"
where is the ice machine? Do The Beds Still Vibrate?
LOL Mikie that was good one
Kevin, sorry, no old lady. This is actually in the process of becoming an historical site. From what I understand this was quite a resort at one time. What I photographed was just the office. The entire resort is behind a fence, you can just see it from the fence. There was nobody around and I did not want to trespass. In case anybody wants to see it, it is on US Highway 87, between Brady, Texas and the San Saba River bridge.
mikielikesigns2, I guess you forgot to use Hotels.com.
Thank you very much for the love and for visiting Manikin, adkmetalman, ho2cultcha, eye4beauty, mikielikesigns2, PhilDavidAlexanderMorris, AmberRose, walksoftly, musikchoo, officialfuel , mrmajestic1, RonM, gargoylecollector & junkmanjoe, glad you all enjoyed it.
