Today’s drive was a little frustrating – The Mother Road was divided into many short segments requiring slow speeds because of surface problems and with limited photo opportunities. Then when transferring back to I-40 there were considerable construction delays. With all that I did manage to almost traverse the state. Probably the highlight of the day was staying in Tucumcari a town which has tried to hold on to its route 66 past by revitalizing iconic service stations and maintaining its neon lights.

Continental Divide – found it strange it strange that 66 highlights it by an Indian store.

So enjoying your Route 66 trip. We went through all those places however we were rushing home and we are on the 40. But we did see some of the towns and we’re saddened by how desolate some more. Looking to follow more of your travels in route 66

It is sad to see how desolate some of towns are – even more how many of the historic structures are now gone
