Route 66 Through New Mexico
We are taking an RV cross country road trip adventure for the first time, from California to Key West and back. We are heading back west and taking Route 66, a drive I have wanted to do for a long time. My original dream was to drive our old Nash Rambler the entire route, but this opportunity came up and I'm pretty sure this was the better way of doing it. Most of the time we drove Interstate 40, taking exits to see the remains of Route 66 based on a list I had made. Our stops were: 00:00 Intro 00:14 Tucumcari New Mexico - Vintage Motels 03:34 Route 66 Auto Museum, Santa Rosa 05:07 Whiting Bros. Moriarty 05:39 Musical Highway 06:37 Enchanted Trails RV, Albuquerque 07:54 Old Town Albuquerque 12:11 Route 66 Albuquerque 15:03 Rio Puerco Bridge, Albuquerque 15:45 Acoma Curio, San Fidel 16:16 Whiting Bros. signs 16:49 Continental Divide 17:17 Gallup New Mexico My favorite stop on this leg of Route 66 was Tucumcari especially the Blue Swallow Motel. I also really like the beauty of Old Town Albuquerque, but maybe because of the time we were there it had a strange vibe. We are continuing on Route 66 next time through Arizona and have a detour planned for Sedona, hopefully we will see you then. *The answer to what song the Musical Road plays or played: America The Beautiful America! America! (Missing from road) God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
