The Roaming Red Rocker is in front of a mural painted on the wall of the Blue Swallow Motel, in Tucumacari, New Mexico. Route 66
the
RRR tour finally arrived in havasu... so here is one last route 66
muse.. there were 2 staff ladies out front having a smoke.. i hoped they
would stay for the shot... but they laughed, and said maybe not....
i came across this location driving back from the 'snow shoot' route 66/holbrook az
skies clearing ..... back on the road in the am. buckaroo baby!
The
road ended in Tucumacari New Mexico. Had the chance to take a shot of a
classic route 66 motel. Here is a brief description, but google
it...."The Blue Swallow Motel was built in 1939 by W. A. Huggins. It
features a unique, personal shell design on the exterior stucco.
Garages, a signature of motor courts of the era, are another unique
characteristic of this motel".
