My little room at the Interstate Motel.
|
And here's where I started today.
|
I tried to keep this in mind the whole day. But it wasn't difficult.
|
I really dug this.
|
How lucky?
|
This lucky?
|
Those Dang Used Cars!!
|
Yee-haw?
|
Too bad.
|
So sad.
|
Oh Sassy!!
|
Biker grill place.
|
Line of RVs at...
|
Cadillac Ranch!
|
Cad.
|
CR
|
CR!
|
Cow at CR.
|
CR
|
Yep, CR.
|
Oh, CR!
|
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
|
LOVE it.
|
Hilarious.
|
The other side. I'm so glad that people do stuff like this.
|
Indian Hill Road, leaving Amarillo.
|
You can see CR from 66.
|
Wildorado, NM!
|
Blue sky for me!
|
But mostly it wasn't.
|
Vega, NM.
|
Looking west into "downtown" Vega.
|
Hexagonal Police Station.
|
The Bus Stop.
|
Weird.
|
Dot's Mini Museum.

Ready to go.

Lovely bug.
|
Adrian, TX. The mid-way point for Route 66.
|
Adrian!
|
One of the many signs.
|
Poor lil bus.
|
Bent Door Cafe still isn't opened.
|
Sign.
|
Robbers Cave sign fell over.
|
I've noticed that I've taken a few of the same pics. You can't really help that.
|
heh!
|
Get along, lil doggie.
|
Just a neat house in Adrian.
|
No idea.
|
I love this sign. Love it.
|
This horse was SO bored that she trotted up to say hi.
|
El Camino?
|
Sassy!
|
I've taken this boxcar's picture three times now.
|
But never for THIS angle!
|
Saw this at Stucky's. Sort of goofy, but really well done.
|
Hm.. no comment.
|
Everything is that-a way.
|
I'm ok with these signs, I guess.
|
Hello, Glenrio.
|
Glenrio. This property was HEAVILY posted and there were folks living next to it (in a fairly nice house).
|
First/Last Motel in Texas.Because the border is...
|
Well it's not right here, but it's close.
|
|
Inside the garage area.
|
Round back.
|
Another motel.
|
The line is right here. Right by the post office. The post office is in New Mexico. I'm standing in Texas.
|
Old service station.
|
|
Four lane highway leading out of town.
|
Which turns to this. For 14 miles. So do I take it? Of course I do.
|
Looking down a fence line.
|
Ruby.
|
An old bridge west of Glenrio.
|
Cross on the hill.
|
Cows all looking at me.
|
This is Endee.
|
As is this.
|
And this is not Route 66. This is the road I took to avoid the messiness of Route 66. Epic Fail. I nearly got stuck.
|
Back to the interstate, Route 66 was here in the 50's.
|
And continued West.
|
Just after the Glenrio exit.
|
Looking out to where I was.
|
Do pass with care, please.
|
San Jon Motel. We stayed there in 2004.
|
This is Bard. Well, the second location of Bard.
|
Bard.
|
Bard.
|
Bard?
|
Bard!
|
Every ghost town needs someone living in it.
|
Great building west of Bard.
|
West of Bard.
|
What?!
|
YES!
|
Here is my foods.
|
And there it goes.
|
GREAT place. THANK YOU!!!!
|
Someone paid too much for gasoline!
|
But it wasn't me! HAHAHA!
|
my face.
|
San Jon Motel
|
San Jon.
|
Where I would have entered San Jon (missing Indian food) if I had stayed on old old 66.
|
Looking east from near San Jon.
|
San Jon. C'mere, horse!
|
Ohai!
|
Western Motel on the western end of San Jon.
|
San Jon.
|
You can see Tucumcari Mountain out in the distance.
|
Along the road from San Jon to Tucumcari.
|
Over a river of some sort.
|
Art!
|
Art = shoes nailed to fence posts.
Whatever you can get away with.
|
This mud will be here forever.
|
Or there forever.
|
Tucumcari Mt. And two others.
|
I believe this to be an old train tunnel. But not THAT old.
|
And this is an old canal. In Tucumcari.
|
Tucumcari has some cool buildings.
|
Had some, too.
|
Train station.
|
And Danford Dan's Music!
That's it for today. Tune in tomorrow for more pics of Tucumcari.
