It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of Usa has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber.

Great Find
Just as much fun as I remembered it to be. This was written in the 1980's in the style fo finding Tut's Tomb. Imagine being decades away from the 1985 disaster that coated the USA in dirt and sand then excavating a Motel and all it's artifacts.
