Oh. My. God. This is hysterical. I don't know if I can resist the lure of cabooses remodeled as motel rooms.

Somehow I think I can see chiefted enjoying this place too.

The only thing they're missing is... hm. I can't think of what they could possibly be missing. ;)

I can't wait to see the reaction from the person I'm travelling up there with. ;) I should also remember to ping my aunt and see if they're going to be around that weekend.

Heh. I don't think that you lose that point unless it's part of a live train... (ducking).

Yay for meeting your cool aunt! Besides, I want to meet your family ;-). And introduce you to mine...

Heh, his name sprang immediately to mind when I saw the link. Now to persuade brian1789 that we really need to stay there. *grin*

If you're up for it, dear.... (giggle). You always wanted to sleep in a train overnight...

(wonders about the springiness of the foundations)

For the record, I found this place by looking at the Mt. Shasta Visitor Information page, I did not go in search of the kitschiest place in Northern California. ;) But how fabulous is that?? *laugh*

When we were on a trip chiefted and i went there to the coffee shop, he was very brave and let me order all the PINK food I wanted. He still shudders.

I have allways wanted to rent one of the big rooms with some friends and do a movie weekend with drinking games and no set bedtime

and its SO Pink

but for kitch have you ever been to PEA SOUP ANDERSONS?

A four-hour drive, and one could easily sleep 10-12 in the bigger rooms. More, with the, um, shag carpeting...

[wldrose.livejournal.com]

well they have suites with various beds

(nods) I like the jungle room with the waterfall shower... patgreene and I have stayed there a couple of times. The whole place is so over-the-top, it's fun...

[wldrose.livejournal.com]

Brian I would never have thought that of you. (giggle)

Hey, the last time I was there, I had pink pancakes with strawberries for breakfast! (giggle)

Underneath this serious, respectable exterior lies... a very silly person, at times ;-).

and one might even think (shh) naughty.

(bats eyelashes) who, me?

[geekchick]

the jungle room

Elvis Presley is alive and well and living in San Luis Obispo. Who know? =)

[patgreene.livejournal.com]

We've stayed in this room and this room. The furniture is massive -- which is great, we didn't have to worry about the kis breaking it. And they loved the waterfall shower.

[geekchick]

Please tell me that they're not as screamingly loud in person as they are in the photos. =) I don't think I could sleep in most of these rooms because I'd spend all night trying to figure out how to turn down the walls. ;)

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

The mind boggles... How they fit two queen-size beds into an old caboose -- that's impressive! Caboose-style, no less... (giggle).

[patgreene.livejournal.com]

*mope* I'm jealous. :p

Closer to home...

There's this train (well, 2 cars' worth) converted into an ice cream parlour in York, PA:

It's called Ice Cream Express.

And if you can't talk brian1789 into staying there with you, I'm willing!
