We camped at an old "motor court" style motel that had converted the parking lot into an RV park. It was originally the Cactus motel.
We started the day in Tucumcari (or kookumcari as the girls called it) and saw a number of old Route 66 sites. This is the Route 66 strip through town today. Notice the cloudless sky - the temperature was 74 with a cool breeze when we left town around noon. That's the Palomino motel on the right - one of the classics that still exist.
Emi was really proud of pulling her tooth (Noni helped). She had been "working on it" for days.
This was my lunch at the Santa Fe Grill in Santa Rosa. It was Awesome!
Once we left I-40 (yeah!) just west of Santa Rosa, we drove up through the mesas and plateaus into the mountains.
We ended the day at 7500 feet elevation with the only sound being the wind in the trees and three very excited little girls.
