Default Old Oil Company signs

In my travels I happened to pass a beautiful collection of old oil
company signs (Gulf, Esso, Humble, etc.) along Old Hwy 58 near
Barstow, CA. Since I didn't have a camera with me, I decided to trust
Google Street View to provide pictures.

Wrong-a-mundo! They took their shots of this area at Night!

So, if you visit Google Maps and put in the address:
28664 Old Hwy 58, Barstow, CA

and then go to Street View, you'll get a dark, hazy picture. However,
if you then click on PICTURE you will get one good picture showing
Mobilgas, Esso, Conoco and Phillips 66.

Oh well, it's better than nothing.
