Seen from below, the Roy's sign fills a tall sky that shifts from pale blue to peach near the horizon. ROY'S stands in white outlined capitals on a dark, weathered panel set against a red star shape, and a turquoise MOTEL CAFE board hangs beneath it on gray posts. Two palm trees edge into the lower right corner.

A margin of topographic map frames the image, as in other prints from Dennis Johnson's Route 66 Series. The reference location is Amboy, California, on Route 66. Digital print, 14" x 18", 2018, edition of 10.
