The Road Less Traveled – Day 5 – Route 66

No time frame and a sense of adventure ? Set the GPS to avoid highways… you discover amazing places!!!

Traveling from Amarillo, TX to Santa Rosa, NM. Instead of a crazy mess of construction with everyone trying to pass the camper we drove an hour longer through Hereford where we saw???

Cattle ranches and stockyards…

Long stretches of flat pavement and scrubby pastures but then something on the horizon.

Wait until you see, first this then…

…wait for it there’s more

You haven’t seen another car in 50 miles and your wife needs to pee, you pull over to the side of the road. First she takes care of business then climbs up on the hitch of the truck to get these.

We would have missed this on the Interstate…maybe that is why Route 66 calls to us.

Screenshot not a video, lmao 😜
I’m overwhelmed 🫢

So awesome to see this in person.
