New Mexico is my favourite state on Route 66 thus far. The old road through this state has plenty of evidence of its previous glory. Abandoned gas stations, hotels and other business line the route as it passes through small towns. Some "legendary" hotels have survived.
This is where the desert is beginning, although, New Mexico is very green in parts. The vista are incredible. The landscapes are generally flat with the occasional hill or mini-mountain off in the distance. The horizon stretches for miles. Parts of the highway are straight for miles and miles. Yesterday we were driving to Santa Fe on a very straight stretch of road. Up ahead we could see clouds and lightening strikes. At one point two bolts of lightening struck either side of the highway simultaneously.
Sorry, no pics of New Mexico yet. Perhaps later today or tomorrow.
