Wow it has really changed, over the years the last time I was over in Tucumcari was over 40 years ago before Interstate 40 came through. The first time I went to New Mexico with my Mother, Father and Sister was in 1961 on Route 66. It is interesting to see these videos as you travel Route 66.

Thanks! I did Route 66 in 1995... pre internet. We had so much fun start to finish. Found ourselves on a few dirt roads and dead ends, and even a big steer in our path at one point. Chicago to LA, had to drive East first. Sent postcards to friends and family, met some characters at various post offices. We got our kicks!

I was gonna say I hope you guys filmed more of the neon signs lit up at night. Thats really when Route 66 becomes pure magic is when those things light up. Tinkertown was more awesome than I thought it would be. Can you imagine if that place was the setting for a Night at the Museum movie and all those characters came to life at night?

@sarahgreene3979 6 жыл бұрын

Tucumcari was in a song by Little Feat called 'Willin'.... I always wondered where that was! I have crossed over route 66 in my travels, but never rode the whole thing.
