ABOVE PHOTO: In this image you can see Jim and Rocky pulling into the Royal Oak Motel in Coulter City, California. This was once a real motel located at 320 W Harvard Blvd. Santa Paula, CA 93060. When I was a child I remember staying at such small town motels while traveling with my family on driving vacations. Slowly many of these family own motels are going away.
