Cactus RV Park, Tucumcari, NM - Oct 7-9
The stop here was planned in order to meet up with friends Dave & Diane West. They were traveling east to work for Hickory Farms in Texas for the holiday season, and we were traveling west to AZ. It was a convenient place to meet. Other than that, we can't say much about Tucumcari. Its only claim to fame seems to be that old Route 66 used to run through it. All the cheesy, tacky motels & restaurants that once lined Route 66 have fallen into such disrepair that they no longer have any appeal, except perhaps for the most diehard 66er. The town itself never regained whatever it had at the heyday of Route 66 travel. We had a great time visiting, eating & playing cribbage with Dave & Diane though.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 8:14 PM
