New Mexico Route 66 - Tucumcari

TUCUMCARI, NEW MEXICO. Tucumcari Tonight! So said the billboards along old Route 66, advertising the town's abundance of motels and motel rooms. 66 travelers were tempted with a good night's sleep about one day's drive away to both the east and west, all the way up to the city limits. Some of those billboards remain today, but they are pointed at the interstate. The Pony Soldier Motel once figured in the local room supply, but now only the sign remains.
