HOW’D YOU KNOW?
Last week: The Lazy S Arrow Motel, at the intersection of U.S. 50 and Colorado 141 in Whitewater.
The winner: Dan Burns, Grand Junction
The Lazy S Arrow Motel is owned by Dick and Toni Sherwood. He’s 89 and she’s 82.
The structure was built around 1970 from aspen (“quakie”) poles cut in the White River National Forest Area, by their youngest daughter, Sunny. The poles were then hauled to Whitewater by another daughter, Sandra, and her husband, Charles DuCray. The family constructed the building at the protest of many locals, who claimed the poles would never last. It still stands today as a landmark of the small community of Whitewater.
