The drive from Albuquerque to Gallup is beautiful! Gorgeous views. New Mexico really lives up to its nickname, the Land of Enchantment! Plus there are a ton of ruins, old signs, abandoned gas stations, etc. All the things that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE. We passed the ruins for Bowlin's Old ... Read more

We couldn't wait to get the hell out of Santa Fe. I just couldn't get with that town. Too many old people, too much expensive turquoise jewelry, not Route 66-ish. So we checked out and headed towards Albuquerque and since it was a short driving day, we stopped for a bunch of antique stores and ... Read more

Do you know the way to Santa Fe? No? Good, don't go! Ok, well, maybe go, the road to Santa Fe is awesome, but I wouldn't stay there again. We checked out of the Blue Swallow and I really wanted a donut for breakfast, but the donut shop is CLOSED. Much like the rest of the town.Also, this shop ... Read more

Tucumcari was a typical Route 66 town with a strip of motels and buildings from the bygone era of highway travel. There isn't a whole lot to do in Tucumcari, but it was probably my favorite town along Route 66 because I loved, loved, LOVED all of the old buildings, motels, signs, and ruins. There is ...

This was probably my favorite day of the Route 66 trip: spray painting cars, apple pie, and a long strip of amazing neon signs! We began Day 8 with breakfast at The Big Texan. We figured their dinner was good, might as well give breakfast a try, too!Then we got on the road for a couple of miles to ... Read more

Day 7 of our 18-day Route 66 road trip was a shorter driving day. We started out with a drive towards Amarillo (which is in Texas, not New Mexico!) and of course came across more cool roadside shit like the Rattlesnakes sign from an old roadside reptile farm and some Burma Shave signs. Here is what ... Read more

Day six started on a sad note as we visited the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. I can't write anything vile enough about the two assholes who blew up that building and the people who helped them do it.The memorial is very well done. The Field of Empty Chairs is especially touching. It contains 168 ... Read more

Our drive was Carthage to Oklahoma City was a very packed day with a lot of cool roadside attractions to see. We tried to get an early start, but it was a little hard to do after staying up and watching a double feature at the drive-in. But we got as early of a start as we could and set off for ...

Day 4 of our Route 66 Road Trip was a fun day! Lots of antiquing, vintage motel signs, roadside attractions, and a drive-in movie theater! It was only when we were checking out to leave the Munger Moss that I noticed the brightly colored Starlite Lanes bowling alley across the street. It's got some ... Read more

On day 3, we could not get out of St. Louis fast enough. We tried to visit the Gateway Arch, but we didn't want to leave our car packed full of luggage in the pay-to-park garage. We tried driving around to the other side of it, but Google kept giving up bad directions. At one point, she wanted us to ... Read more
