Vaughn, New Mexico - lots of open land driving along “US Route 54” … the city Vaugh was an oasis in the middle of a desert - not a super-riffic oasis 🙄 … Vaughn is a major junction of 3 US highways, an abandoned gas station & a smiley face mural 😊 … BEFORE heading back to the “as-far-as-the-eye-can-see”New Mexico landscape … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #USroute60RunAwayBill #USroute60 #HistoricRoute60 #rabUSroute60 #rabUSroute285 #rabUSroute54 #USroute54 #rabFavoriteSigns #Signs #SignsUSA #RABsigns #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabSmiles #rabNewMexico #NewMexico Tuesday 12.20.22 (at Vaughn, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmi5HpDue2V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Encino, New Mexico - the “Flying C” truck stop has plenty of billboards along I-40 guiding you to their store that also sells gasoline … interestingly, the longest narrow gas station I’ve experience … the “Flying C” offers stuffed animals as attractions - a small young Buffalo can be had for just $1999 … the cow dishes had my interest - unfortunately “Made in China” 🙁 … that’s 2 I-40 “Historic Route 66” truck stops down for the day - the BEST is next! #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabRoute66GasStations #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Bowlin's Flying C Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWPpW8ut8U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cline’s Corner, New Mexico - the 1st of 3 “Historic Route 66” Truck Stops along the Intestate I-40 Route I will experience today … these “tourist” truck stops feature a store full of “Made in China” and “Made in Mexico” items - rarely, some locally made items too … “Let’s Get This Interstate Adventure Started!” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabRoute66GasStations #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Cline's Corners Travel Stop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWNVx0Omti/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stanley, New Mexico - a rare sighting (of anything) along “US Route 285” since my Santa Fe departure … spotted this building in middle of nowhere with a mural and decided to stretch my kegs … appears to have been an old Standard Oil gas station with possibly an outhouse … now a part of a cattle ranch based on barbed wire fence and cow poop … since Janine mentioned “prairie dogs” to me recently, I am “guessing” these holes “might” be prairie dog accommodations 🤔? interesting mural - maybe the local convicts were using the “prairie dog” technique to escape a local jail? #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabMurals #MuralsUSA #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabUSroute285 #rabNewMexico #NewMexico #rabWestwardHo2022 Sunday 12.18.22 (at Stanley, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWK42LO0h9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tres Piedras, New Mexico - an abandoned diner & gas station were once US Route 285 icons - an oasis stop for gas and a bowl of of New Mexico green chili to break up the long lonely drive … I researched & found a pic with the DINER roof word not covered up … the gas station had 4 pumps in a 2019 “abandoned” pic - only 2 on pumps on my visit … “Flo” still snuck in for a gas station pose … these abandoned places are all over the USA … many folded because of the Interstate Highway system - they all gave stories too … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #FloGasStation #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabDiner #DinerRAB #rabUSroute285 #rabNewMexico #NewMexico Friday 12.16.22 (at Tres Piedras, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSta4GroHu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tucumcari, New Mexico - (SUNDAY 11.27.22) “Bare & Wild Creations” was closed on Sunday - it appears they may “create” “1-of-a-kind” memorable items … this old “Historic Route 66” Texaco gas station was doing anything, so “Flo” did her thing … I will stop in on my next visit to Tucumcari and say hello and thanks … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabRoute66GasStations #FloGasStation #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabTucumcariNM #rabRoute66NewMexico #rabNewMexico #NewMexico Sunday 11.27.22 https://www.instagram.com/p/CloWh9VuP-T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Raton, New Mexico - I took the I-25 Business Route … I discovered in 1900 a steam engine “locomobile” traveled across a mountain pass - very environmental friendly … I also learned 2nd Street was another victim of the Interstate road system - 3 gas stations are history, some quirky attractions (windmill & giant arrow) are visible & lots of motels & eateries once dotted Raton … the vintage movie theater & marquee is still hanging in there … a vintage icehouse has become a bar nowadays - another point of interest … I will return and check out their historic district on another adventure … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabHistorical #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabMotel #Motel #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabNewMexico #NewMexico 11.29.22 (at Raton, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CllnOHhuK7z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
