The Ludlow Motel featured three TV channels and a very skinny phone book.

The sign for the Ludlow Motel was simple, but it was a welcome sight after 110 miles of desert cycing.

I ate dinner at the Ludlow Coffee Shop but didn't return for breakfast.

Ludlow was once a mining town, as commemorated by these mine cars in front of the coffeee shop.

Of course, there was an " L" for Ludlow on the side of a nearby mountain. That is one awesome Peterbilt tractor, too!

This old water truck was parked under the canopy of an old gas station between the motel and the coffee shop.

This green vehicle was parked beside it. Notice that both vehicles had at least one flat tire.
