Description
I was driving home one night from a weekend road trip to Arizona when, just six hours before I had to be at work the next morning, I passed by this Texaco station at the intersection of highways 46 and 33 in central California. It was late and I was still about half hour or more from home, but about a mile past it I knew I had to stop and turn around for a photo.
The Hwy 46/Hwy 33 intersection is known as Blackwells Corner. It was named for the man who started a rest stop there in 1921, George Blackwell. I have no idea why there's no apostrophe between the last "l" and the "s," but that's the way it is.
