Road Town Tapestries
Description: Powder River, Wyoming is little more than a ghost town these days, but it used to have two restaurants, a motel, and a gas station, supporting not just locals and travelers along the U.S. 20 highway, but also the Standard Oil refinery. Now all that remains is an elementary school, a post office and a handful of very rural residences. One of those restaurants was the Tumble Inn, a roadhouse in every sense of the word. The log cabin housing the Tumble Inn was moved to Powder River from Ten Sleep, Wyoming, in 1923 and operated as several businesses before the Tumble Inn took up residence in 1942. With a full bar and kitchen, the Inn kept passersby happy for decades, but after the refinery closed, things slowed and topless dancers were added.
Description: A distressed American flag element is shown with bold white text overlaying a black background. The text reads "TRY THAT IN A SMALL TOWN SEE HOW FAR YA MAKE IT DOWN THE ROAD" above the flag. A circular emblem with "1776" inside is on the canton area of the flag, and "We The People" is written vertically along the right side.
