Roy's Motel

Amboy, CA

The blue bus has, as far as I can tell, been sitting there for years, perhaps decades. Like many desert businesses that have succumbed to the rerouting of traffic onto the interstates, this place no longer lives up to its advertising: no rooms, no meals, and I'm not even sure the gas pumps are working. You can, however, get a soda and a candy bar for the road.

Update (12/20/06): This place has been bought by someone, but it is currently closed due to lack of a water supply. Work is in progress to find a source of water, so that it can be reopened as a restaurant and motel.
