So we have spent a lot of our time on the road. And there are some great views along the way; some of the prettiest and the tackiest and simply most American parts of the country. Here’s a sampling from the road. I will keep adding photos to the top of this post as I come across additional appropriate images.

Just before Amarillo, TX there is a very colorful site commonly referred to as Cadillac Ranch.

Traveling in Tucumcari, NM we found this special tribute to Route 66….

In our effort to experience Route 66, we took the slow road for part of the journey. We were fortunate to end up at this bakery for lunch. Definitely a joint where locals hung out and did business. A great opportunity to get a taste for this place.

We didn’t stop to actually see the “Hole in the Rock” – the sign on the rock brought joy enough.

A short distance later on the same scenic drive, we saw what I would actually call a “Hole in the Rock,” but this one was an unnamed arch, as far as I know.
