Reseguide

lug Bug Ranch -- also known as Bug Ranch, Bug Farm, and Buggy Farm -- was created in 2002. The five wrecked Volkswagen Beetles, buried hood-down in the ground, were the idea of the Crutchfield family, who owned the Longhorn Trading Post and Rattlesnake Ranch next door.

Slug Bug Ranch.
It began when a huge corporate Travel Plaza was built on the opposite side of the Crutchfields interstate exit. They figured they could stay in business if they could siphon away traffic with something eye-catching and engaging. Slug Bug Ranch seemed a natural choice: a parody of the popular Cadillac Ranch, 35 miles west. At the time, the Beetle wrecks were painted a pristine bright yellow, and a sign next to them encouraged, "Sign a Bug."

Slug Bug Ranch.

The Crutchfield's were right about one thing: Slug Bug Ranch has proved popular as an attraction. Unfortunately, it flopped as a business plan, and the Trading Post closed only a year after it was built. Its advanced state of decay is a testament to the vigorous love it has endured from Route 66 travelers, who have felt free to modify the abandoned artwork with spray paint and whatever crowbars, hammers, blowtorches, etc. they apparently carry in their vehicles.

Sisådär
Poolen avstängd, smutsigt på loftgången och trappan upp t rummen. Tråkigt att inte frukost erbjuds när de har en egen restaurang bredvid. Sängkläderna är billigaste lakanen och en tunn bomullfilt, inget lyx direkt. Bra ac. Bodde här mest för att kunna bada i poolen och äta på Big Texan. Ange på hotels ...

Luktar mögel, fuktigt i alla utrymmen och vi fick kliande utslag på kroppen av sängarna. Bra restaurang utanför hotellet dock!

I had a nice stay for one night. Quiet and calm area and near the highway. The thing that pulls the grade down is that the sound from Doors slamming in the corridor was very loud.

Everything was great. The place was neat and cozy and super convenient to Palo Duro Canyon Park. The deck was great for sitting out at night stargazing and also added a bonus visiting with the Longhorns! They came right up to the deck several times during the stay just to say hi.
