Route 66
p.1 #1Route 66
During last month's road trip I drove segments of the historic Route 66--mostly in Arizona and New Mexico. Here are a dozen images from my drive:
1- Route 66 sign in Williams, AZ
2- Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, NM
3- Roadside Billboards and Petrified Wood in Hollbrook, AZ
4- Standing on the Corner in Winslow, AZ
5- Park Bench Shadows in Kingman, AZ
6- Have You Slept in a Wigwam Lately? Holbrook, AZ
7- Betty Boop in Williams, AZ
8- Mr D'z in Kingman, AZ
9- The Dinos of Holbrook, AZ
10- Crown Victoria in Williams, AZ
11- Tee Pee Curios in Tucumcari, NM
12- Route 66 in Williams, AZ
Thanks for looking...

Nice captures for the feel of this part of the Mother Road. It's like a living museum of pre-Interstate "road trip" travel in the U.S. southwest. BTW, in April 2021, gas there was $3.29, $3.59 and $3.99. I haven't been past Petrified Forest going east, but have traveled the more western sections of Route 66 several times. I swap back and forth between 66 and I-40, often going through the old cities on the business routes, etc.

Thanks Craig...I've mostly driven Route 66 through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. I need to experience more of the sections both east and west of that.

The Blue Swallow.... perfect, or darn near anyway
Thanks...I've photographed that motel three times. The first time was frustrating. I was all set up and ready to shoot when a car pulled up right in front of me with its headlights shining in my lens. I figured that it was no big deal as the driver would quickly get checked in at the office and move along. No such luck. He talked to at the counter for at least 20 minutes while his car was there with the headlights on.
The second time I was there the vintage car wasn't there. The motel was closed for the season.
This time it all came together.

Just FANTASTIC compositions here Glenn! Priceless they be!
As soon as I saw the "Winslow,AZ" mural, I thought of the "Eagles hit song"- Take IT Easy"..Stuckey's....always a "roadmark" to stop for a "pecan log" when travelling!
Again always great photography here!

It's so quiet in some sections, you can land on it. (That is not a beer.)
That sounds like a good idea!

Pic #11 my favorite. Would be a nice print on the wall.
It magically has so many elements in it while the whole pictures is so clean and not making me nervous to watch!
