Route 66 Photo Essay (I'm in Gallup, NM, tonight - BIG FILES)

[DemoTex]

Don't eat no road kill at the Roadkill 66 Cafe





Burma Shave hell:

"Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme .."





The BNSF (Burlington Northern - Santa Fe RR) bulls (cops) tag-teamed me for over 50 miles after I took these pics. I was doing many 180s on 66 to get back to certain photo ops (NOT RR THOUGH!).





Might go to Santa Fe , tomorrow. Big Porsche 356 meet there!

Need any tourism hints?

2. I did the Route 66 trip

from StL to Cal years ago,was a blast.

The Interstate part sucks tho.

4. Wow.

5. Did you have trouble finding a motel in Gallup?

Just kidding. There's only like 200 of them there. In Gallup I use to buy art, jewelry, blankets and stuff made by Diné, Hopi or Zuni folks, and sell it at fairs.

If you like Southwestern eats, check out Maria's or Tomasita's in Santa Fe. Yum. Taos is a nice place to hang for a bit, too.

Thanks for the pics.
