I was in the northwest part of the state for the last two days and just wanted to stick in some random pictures from historic routes I traveled along. The yellow cottages ca. 1930 are part of a travel lodge compound on U.S. 6-Grand Army of the Republic Highway, just west of Westville. They're in great condition.
The Citizens Service Station ca. 1950 is on the Lincoln Highway/U.S. 30 in Wanatah.
The wildflowers-Lupine-are growing along the removed/abandoned section of Lincoln Highway east of Hamlet. I've not seen Lupine growing in any other area around the state, except for this small stretch between Hamlet east to the Marshall County line.
I also did a short stint on the Yellowstone Trail I'll post later.

Didn't realize there were any Cities Service buildings left! Those cottages are a real find, too. Looks like they're being maintained.
