Traveling the Mother Road
Route 66 -- it’s also known as The Mother Road and America’s Main Street. The remains of this meandering piece of Americana span three time zones and eight states from Illinois to California. It was the country’s first east-west highway and a romantic symbol of freedom that spurred our car culture, a TV show, a hit song, books and folklore. It was also the road to freedom and survival for Depression era migrant workers escaping the Oklahoma Dust Bowl and seeking the Promised Land of California

Checkout Never Comes
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.
