Paul Vlachos and Peggy Jordan have been traveling the back roads and secondary highways of the United States since 1995 in search of old motels. They have a particular love for the West: its deserts, hot springs and long, lonely roads.

Both native New Yorkers, Paul is a writer and photographer who often works in the new media industry. After graduating from college and finding a career in video production and public relations, he quickly worked his way down the corporate ladder, eventually becoming a truck driver in New York City for many years. He hits the road as often as possible.

Peggy is a painter and photographer who learned her craft in the Bronx and the rougher side of Baltimore. She has worked in the fashion and photographic industries for years and currently lives in Honolulu.
