Route 66 was a mostly two lane highway that extended from Chicago to Los Angeles, through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before gradually giving up to the modern interstate. Most of the old pavement is still there, and can be followed with the right maps and directions. I drove the entire length of old 66 in 2012, and invite you to follow along!

New Mexico Route 66 - Tucumcari
Odeon Theater
Showtimes at the Odeon Theater
Lena's Cafe from 2008
TUCUMCARI, NEW MEXICO. Just a couple of turns
off Tucumcari Boulevard (old 66), the small downtown of Tucumcari is
perfect for a sunny walkabout. Inspect the fading small town
architecture, look out for a couple of murals, and try to find colorful
Lena's Cafe. There is also a dinosaur museum on 1st Street which I
never seem to have time for, not with all the 66 stuff in town, but it's
on my list for a future trip. The Art Deco Odeon Theater, built in
1935, dominates the corner of Main and 2nd Streets.
