New Mexico Route 66 - Tucumcari

TUCUMCARI, NEW MEXICO. The Blue Swallow Motel is another 66 landmark in good hands after a recent change in ownership. Kevin and Nancy Mueller took over the old tourist court in July, 2011, and the restoration they initiated continues to improve and brighten up the property. In fact, the Muellers were working the grounds in 103 degree New Mexico heat when I interrupted them for a chat and a photo. (Seems like I slowed down loads of 66 restoration work on this trip.)
