While I enjoyed the many motel signs in southern Utah, I had much ground to cover before settling down for the evening. The settling down took place at the Sands Motel in St. George.
The room was only $29.95!
You get what you pay for!
The room was quiet and clean. WiFi was free! The dresser was a good 40-50 years old, missing a drawer, and had LA gang graffiti carved into its side. More importantly, it gets cold at night in the desert. The bed had sheets and a very thin blanket.
The heat came from an enormous, loud, and ancient forced air heat/AC unit stuck in the window of the odd walk-in closet area. The heater had two settings: Off, and 100 miles/hour, 100 degree Santa Ana winds. I couldn't decide which was the worse alternative, freezing or becoming dessicated, so I alternated between the two that night. Still, $29.95 can't be beat.
And oh, that sign. Breathtaking.
