  • Mon. Aug. 15 – Day 6 – Tucumcari NM to Clinton OK

    Posted on August 15th, 2011 bobpelikan 2 comments

    Bob with our hosts Nancy and Kevin. That's their 63 Pontiac Bonneville convertible to the left.

     

    Room 8, half of "The Suite" at the Blue Swallow.

    The two 51's as they might have looked 60 years ago.

    After some coffee and good-by’s at the Blue Swallow, we hit the road for Adrian TX, home of the Midway Cafe which, as it’s name implies is the half way point from Santa Monica to Chicago.  We met a nice family from Germany that was traveling west and we shared some tips back and forth.  The friendly staff served up an awesome breakfast and we hit the road with happy tummies and a bag full of goodies from the gift shop.  Then it was off to Clinton OK with a stop at Cadillac Ranch along the way.

    Lots of murals in Tucumcari of which this is touted as the best.

    Hungry traveler at the Midway Cafe. Can't eat till we take the picture.

    A dozen old beauties 10 of which are already buried.

    Grafitti is the name of the game.

    Anne leaves her mark.

    Our constant companion.

    A welcome end to a fun day at the Ramada in Clnton OK.
