Made 383 miles yesterday although some of that was visiting Cibola. I was looking forward to Tucumcari since its in a Little Feat song I like "Willin", well it looked Luke it was quite the town back in the day. Sadly, about all the motels and stores are boarded up. I'm talking several miles of them. The poor downtown was a boarded up wasteland too. It was pretty sad. Anyways I puttered on to Amarillo, TX. Route 66 is totally gone except the stretches in the little towns. I'll check out the stretch here in Amarillo this morning and then am planning on visiting Palo Duro Canyon which is supposed to be quite the sight. 2nd largest Canyon in the USA. Then on to Oklahoma City. Man is it a long way from the Pacific to Cincy...
