| Old Route 66 |
We jumped off the interstate for breakfast and happened to drop right on the halfway point of the famed route 66 in Adrian, TX.
There is not much left to the towns we explored. Seems once the new modern interstates where built, may of the towns Route 66 went through could no longer survive. Many seemed like ghost towns with abandoned and boarded up buildings.
This portion of route 66 dead-ends. We dismounted to snap a few pictures.
Sam: "Don't touch the cactus"
Me: Thinking to myself *well, duh* (to be fair, I do have a habit of touching things I probably shouldn't)
Sam: The "prickers come off easily"
Me: "And you know this how?"
Sam: "I don't want to talk about it"
The never ending road in NM! We went miles (almost a full tank of gas) on this road. Passed maybe 6 cars. We where able to snap this picture without worrying about traffic sneaking up on us from behind. Roads like this make it nice to have the security of the Spot Tracker.
The remaining of these pictures are from NM. They do not do any justice to the amazing scenery.
We saw a number of adobe brick buildings.
This reminds me of the Cars movie, with the new roads leading to abandoned towns. Keep your eyes out for talking vehicles!
