Tuesday, September 26, 17 - In Tucumcari we saw the Teepee Curios, Blue Swallow Motel and the Route 66 Monument at the Museum. If you're counting that's these three plus two in Santa Rosa that we saw all in one day. And we watched our home church's worship service before all this! Teepee Curios is… Continue reading 09.26.17 – Teepee Curios, Blue Swallow Motel and Route 66 Monument in Tucumcari, New Mexico

09.24.17 The Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico
Sunday, September 24, 2017 - When we decided to go see the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa near Route 66 we really didn't know what to expect. It was very awesome, but I can't even say I understand it at all, so I've included info from their website and a couple of their graphics/pictures along… Continue reading 09.24.17 The Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico
09.23.17 – To Sante Fe or BUST! – Sante Fe, New Mexico
Saturday, September 22, 2017 - Traveling Route 66 is kind of like trying to find your way anywhere in the dark. Sometimes the only way to know is to see the sign to the right here every now and then along the route. When Route 66 gets to Albuquerque from the west, it goes both… Continue reading 09.23.17 – To Sante Fe or BUST! – Sante Fe, New Mexico
09.22.17- 66 Diner in Albuquerque, NM
Friday, September 22, 2017 - After riding the Musical Highway and the Sandia Peak Tramway, we really enjoyed eating at 66 Diner located on Route 66 in Albuquerque.

09.20.17 From Arizona to Tijera, New Mexico
Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - Here we are arriving in New Mexico. Dora and Boots like New Mexico! Another odd Rest Area. It's surrounded by mountains! We've seen more railway cars in Arizona and New Mexico's dessert than we have in our entire lives! We stayed overnight at Walmart in Gallup, NM. Here we brought… Continue reading 09.20.17 From Arizona to Tijera, New Mexico
09.19.17 Petrified Forest and Painted Desert on Route 66 in Arizona
On the first impression, the Petrified Forest may not sound very appealing as it comprises stone log fragments scattered over a rather remote and otherwise featureless section of the Arizona desert. Apparently, it comes as a little disappointment to some, like us, who expect the trees still to be standing in thick rocky groves instead… Continue reading 09.19.17 Petrified Forest and Painted Desert on Route 66 in Arizona
09.18.17 Route 66 on the way to the Petrified Forest, Arizona
Monday, September 18, 2017 - When we left Williams, Arizona we drove down Route 66, when we could, on our way to the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. I say "when we could" because it doesn't exist everywhere it use to. In some places Route 66 has simply been replaced with I-40. In… Continue reading 09.18.17 Route 66 on the way to the Petrified Forest, Arizona
09.16.17 Grand Canyon South Rim, Arizona
