Expert Posts: 1287 | Lads -- The Little America Travel Center above looks like the original one in, believe it or not, Little America, Wyoming, along the old Lincoln Highway (now I-80). It is really in the boondocks of Swee****er County about three-quarters of the way between Cheyenne and Salt Lake. The town it's in has a 2010 popluation of 68 (yup, 68), but if you count the drivers of the big rigs passing through in any 15-minute span during the summer, that 68 would increase geometically. There are other Little America hotels round about, but this one was the first and was new about the time of the Forward Look. Joe PS, I have no idea why the Home of the Forward Look would let me enter "sweet" and "water" in Swee****er County. | ||

Expert Posts: 2473 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | Originally posted by Sonoramic60 Dave -- Although it's not really close to the camera, the top photo is of the "Kissing Camels" formation in the Garden of the Gods here in Colorado Springs. The center line of the road kinda points to it if you look at what appears to be a hole at the top of the formation just to the right of the notch. For the second time this incredible thread has given me a destination in my travels... Last time it was the 'Geographic Center of North America' in Rugby ND, but today I saw this incredible display of rocks, not only the rocks, but I saw them at their best, at the time when the sun's starting to hit them and give the most graphic contrasts and spectacular colours. Thanks for the tip... | ||

Expert Posts: 1819 Location: Vancouver, BC | Yes, that is a 1957 Mercury - 2 door hardtop wagon, yet. Also, it has the optional 4 headlamp system - note the chrome pod added to the fender. Probably where Studebaker got the idea for headlight pods on the 1958 Studebaker and Packard. | ||
