We are in a KOA. We needed to stop somewhere that had a few facilities. During the 2 1/2 hour drive I passed no one and no one passed me. It was pretty desolate. Before I forget, we are now on mountain time and will be until toward the end of July. Tucumcari has nothing really going for it except the old route 66 runs right through town. For those of you that might be interested, I have some route 66 fun facts. When it was established in 1926 it was known as "The Main Street Of America". It ran from Chicago to Santa Monica California, a total of 2448 miles. It's reputation was enhanced by the song "Get your kicks on Route 66" and a TV show "Route 66. The TV show ran from 1960 to 1964 and starred Martin Milner and George Maharis (pics below). If I remember correctly, these two guys cruised the highway in a Corvette convertible. I don't recollect that they had any visible means of support but they were able to do it for 4 years so there must of been something. We move tomorrow. We don't have reservations anywhere but we do have a couple of ideas.
I remember those two
