 sollertia Says:  Looking for a relatively inexpensive spot to spend the night when I couldn't make it back home to Albuquerque, I came upon this little gem of a place. Even pulling in at 10 pm, it was soon obvious that the owners took pride in keeping up this older property on old Route 66....

For many years this has served Route 66 as a roadside restaurant. Now it still serves as a flower shop and gifts. So there is still life here and it is still being appreciated.

 runningwilder Says:  Driving from Roswell to Tucumcari if you take some back roads you will go through some incredible mesa lands.
