| On the 6th day of being on the road we had reached Texas |
 |
| Our Lunchtime stop was directly opposite the Jail / Prison pictured below |
 |
| This inmate was watering the grass |
 |
| Our very first bit of Route 66 and still in Texas. We'd not long passed Amarillo and had also gone passed the famous 'Cadillac Ranch' |
 |
| Still on Route 66 and we're heading that a way ! |
 |
| Our nights stop in New Mexico -'Blue Swallow' Motel at Tucumcari. Each double room with it's own garage and a free 1st beer from the outside fridge. |
 |
| Oh what a beautiful sign ! The owner is restoring the car too. All this for $80 a night which at the time was £40 |
 |
| The next morning at approximately 8 am the skies were clearing after a night of torrential rain,thunder and lightening . It was our third and last experience (luckily all 3 happened at night) of bad weather |
 |
| It must have already been 70 degrees plus |
 |
| On the road again and I try making my phone call home. Just after here Route 66 halted abruptly and we were back on Interstate Highway 40 which runs right alongside a lot anyway |
 |
| After a little way on Highway 40 we saw a sign showing Route 66 again,which was also the turn off for Santa Rosa that we were taking to start heading up into Northern New Mexico. Just off the Highway was this privately owned museum |
 |
| Well worth popping in for the princely sum of $5 Next time......................... up into the corner of Colorado, Arizona - Monument Valley / Grand Canyon |
