The article involves two friends who took a nine-day roadtrip through the four-corners region of the U.S. (Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado).
Their mission:
Our mission was to find those reminders of classic American road trips before they fade into oblivion. The rule was simple: If it wasn't built before 1975, it wasn't for us. We awarded bonus points (or, in our case, pints) for a place such as the Apache, which had the right mix of retro aesthetics, character and rundown charm, plus a dash of celebrity. (John Wayne and John Ford often stayed at the Apache while filming in the area.)
