Another great vid! When I did this section of Route 66 with my Dad in 1994 we attempted to stay at as many places as we could that were in 1946 Jack Rittenhouse Route 66 Guide. In Gallup we also stayed at the El Rancho and ate at the Eagle Cafe. We did take the Santa Fe alignment staying at the El Rey and eating at the Pink Adobe. The national monument in Manuelito is worth a stop. Twenty years before we stayed at one of the 6/night motels in Tucumcari. We stopped by to photograph the Blue Swallow but failed to go inside to talk to the Lucille Redman when she was still alive. Surprised you didn t share about standing on the corner in Winslow or the Wigwam motel in Holbrook. We took a side trip to Painted Desert/Petrified Forest National Park.

Thank you so much for posting these videos. In 1966 my Dad, sister, younger brother and I drove from Bakersfield CA to New York in a 1966 VW Bus. We visited the caverns near Peach Springs and I just took my son there last year. It was amazing at how little it had changed. We made many stops along our way to NY in 1966 but for some reason Arizona and New Mexico have stuck in my memory the most (I was ten. Again, thanks so much for the post and am so glad you got to spend some quality time with your Dad.

I'd like to put in a word for the Richardson Trading Post in Gallup, NM. They've been there forever, they're a genuine trading post (many local native Americans will pawn their saddles during the winter, mostly to store them there, then redeem them in spring, and they have the best selection of Old Pawn jewelry I've ever seen.

A short stretch of road along 66 / hwy 333 near Tijeras New Mexico plays America the Beautiful. It was installed and paid for by National Geographic as part of their Crowd Control series. Markings on the right side of the road heading east ( only heading east) that if traveled at the speed limit(45) play the song

Hey, what are you views on the racist communities, the sundown towns that lined the route and refused to serve black people forcing the black people to travel with toilet, food and beds. The white communities also banned black people from their counties after sun set.

I watched your video of your travels in Arizona earlier this morning and totally enjoyed it and I'm enjoying this video as well. I shared your Arizona video with my buddy and made the pitch to him that we take this road trip as well. We'll see what he says.

There used to be a Wigwam motel in Tucumcari in the late 50s. We drove between Lee s Summit, MO and Truth or Consequences NM. a few times. I was 10 with three younger siblings, and we pestered Mom to stay there until she finally gave in.
