Route 66, that fabled American highway, both boomed and faded from use during the Cold War era, but remains a powerful symbol of this country's restless spirt that began over well over 200 years ago and continues even today. And along Route 66 are many relics of a time long gone but not forgotten. Tucumcari is one such relic, a ghost town slowly vanishing into the desert, but full of revenants both corperal and physical.
