Retro Roadmap Writeup
Mod Betty isn't the only internet hepcat who digs a retro roadtrip! Thanks to our online mid century modern pal Mr. ModTomic for letting us sit in the back seat and tag along on his vintage travel tour of the US.
Isn't this a gorgeous neon sign? Read about his stay at The Pink Motel in Cherokee NC.
We first heard about the Pink Motel from Vintage Traveler Fuzzy Lizzie and Mr. Modtomic's writeup makes us want to visit for sure!
Some fun shots of vintage signs and random retro goodness found along the way- some of the great stuff you see when you take the back roads instead of the highway.
We weren't the only retro roadtrippers who were psyched to stay at the Wigwam Motel in Cave City, KY - and Mr. Modtomic got some great shots of the interior of his little cone-shaped cabin!
And what's summer, without a visit to the drive in?! Here, Mr. Modtomic visits the Skyview Drive-In, in Belleville, IL. AND it becomes the first entry on the Illinois Retro Roadmap!
So even though it's supposed to rain this entire week here at Retro Roadmap HQ, remember what Mr. ModTomic says, "Summer's not really over, get out and put some miles on your car. See America!"

We all know the song, “Get your kicks on Route 66”, but there are so many miles of “scenic byway” out there that one needn’t travel too far to find your own amazing roadside discoveries. You don’t need to take a week off or even go during the summer, any weekend morning is a good enough excuse! Just don’t forget to take your camera! What you find, sadly, might not be there the next time.
