Tucumcari, NM
Tucumcari was a great stop on 66. So many of the only motels and diners were still there...or at least their signs were. We had dinner at the Pow Wow Restaurant and breakfast the next day at 66 kicks diner.
The big highlight of Tucumcari was the Blue Swallow Motel. The Motel had a great feel to it; with a garage for every room, a cigarette machine with route 66 brand cigarettes still in it, and 2 amazing classic cars in almost perfect shape that I'm kicking myself for not getting pictures of. This town felt like the real 66 spirit was still trying it's hardest to shine.
