Tucumcari is still hanging in there a wonderful respite for a tired traveler. The main drag is the original Route 66 again, gives you the feel of what it might have been like in the day. Lots of motels call to you with promises of modern conveniences like refrigerated air,direct dial telephones and comfy beds. Refrigerated air... A throwback to what was know as air conditioning! There's even a motel boasting that Clint Eastwood stayed there.
Tucumcari also is home to several murals - we found this one on the side of the local grocery store, Lowes, and snapped a few shots. We tried to take a timed picture of all of us and with only 10 seconds to run across the street, Randy didn't quite make it! All in all this will be a favorite photo - all of us together riding Historic Route 66!
