3 Old Gas Pumps

Wupatki National Monument, AZ

While Glenn and I were waiting for Sam and David to join up with us, we went to this old gas station in the middle of nowhere across from the entrance to Wupatki National Monument. I went in to get a cup of coffee. They had the old time setup and the coffee had been sitting for a while. They offered to make a fresh pot, but I was fine with the old stuff. As I headed back to the car, I realized their gas pumps were kind of old, but still in use and I liked this scene with my car and hardly anything else in the background. It brought back memories of working at my dad's gas station and going out to pump gas in a customer's car.
