AKRON MOTEL, Kingman AZ
   
 

It's like a motel for guys who are in the witness protection project.

The back of the card - sent by the mysterious patron and benefactor who mails cards to my house now and then - has a big stamp: ROPING COWBOY MOTEL. The old name went back to its "motor court" days; the new one went with the sign.

Here's an account of growing up at the Roping Cowboy.
