Karla and I finally made it to Albuquerque, NM late afternoon on Sunday. While traveling "The Mother Road", we paused at The Continental Divide (pic #1) as we made our way to Grants, NM....home of the Route 66 Drive Thru (pic #2). We thought this would be a good spot for lunch. Little did we know it is literally a drive through. What you see in the picture below is it😂. In Albuquerque we boondocked at Starr Brothers Brewery where we kicked back with great food and good craft beer...a very good place to rest for the night.
Monday we arrived in Santa Rosa, NM. The temperatures continued to be extremely hot so we settled into Santa Rosa Lake State Park, cooled down RVMakes3, and rested the remainder of the day. Today we ventured through several small towns along "The Mother Road" stopping in Tucumcari, NM, Glen Rio NM, and eventually Amarillo, TX. Tucumcari, once a thriving town along Route 66, is known for the Neon Trail, murals, diners, museums and more. Karla and I had lunch at a local diner followed by a stroll taking in a few of the neon signs. GlenRio is now a ghost town along Route 66 that actually straddles the NM and TX state line.
Approaching Amarillo we, of course, had to visit Cadillac Ranch and the Big Texan. Both Route 66 icons. It was a long, hot but fun day. We are now resting for the evening (Harvest Host) and looking forward to our continued adventure tomorrow.
We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soon. And, as always (we are) coming to a driveway near you! Take care!
