The large cactus shaped sign used to stand in front of the motel where the smaller sign is now, with lots of cacti planted by it. The motel was built in 1956 and hasn't changed much since then. It was called the West Wind Motel for a time and it is still open today. For families traveling west for the first time, I'm sure cactus plants were quite the site for them to see. The motel is on Route 66 in McLean, TX.
