DescriptionPioneer Luxury Court at 7600 East Central Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The motor court is a single-story white building in a U-shape on the property. A wooden pergola is in the center of the property with tables and lawn chairs under it. The motel sign is black with neon lettering that reads, "Pioneer Luxury Court Showers". A close-up view of the pergola is inset in the upper right. A message on the back reads, "Dear Mom and Dad and Dan: Still going. This is the longest ride I have ever taken. Have seen a lot of things. Don't like Texas as they had a bad dust storm. Had to stop several times. I like New Mexico. We stayed at this motel. Had a suite. Will write you a letter soon. I am fine. Love, Wanda".
