Super cool place. Small but you can tell how devoted he is to his collecting. Definitely worth a quick stop. No admission, but he does take donations for the humane society.

Classical Gas Museum - Really cool for a short stop!

While on a road trip through New Mexico, my friends happened upon this amazing roadside find. The Classical Gas Museum is run by Johnnie Meier -- who was very nice and accomodating to my friends and me -- and is full of all kinds of old-school antique gas pumps, signs, oil cans, maps, globes, soda signs, clocks, neons, thermometers and all sorts of other crazy vintage memorabilia.
It's literally like stepping back in time and an amazing opportunity for photos!
