    Those rooms at the Blue Swallow Motel are so adorable. I lived on Route 66 as a child...not too far from Tucumcari. City of Natural Lakes Santa Rosa is where I am from.

    My mothers uncle was a very successful big band touring musician (piano ) out of Dallas in the late 30s early 40s. He died outside of Tucamcari in 41 (his WW2) draft card had been filled out then labeled deceased - he was coming back home to Dallas from a summer dance gig in Albuquerque and the band wrecked in Tucamcari on 66. 3 survived , he passed. Have not seen this town yet being an AZ native but it’s I my list. I appreciate this video J. Thank you

    Tucumcari!!! Yessss!! I have many awesome memories of that place. Several many times being on the road from OK to Vegas with my father, opting to drive versus fly. We spent the night in Tucumcari on the way every single time. That is good stuff

    Jordan I've watched a few other UA-camrs over the years do the route 66 but I really enjoy yours and Scott's the best. I really love all of the little museums and historical places you've stopped off at. One thing I've always really liked about you Jordan is that you're like an old soul. I'm almost old enough to be your mom and most of your videos that I've watched over the years talk about people that I've heard about all my life and I really enjoy that. I love American history, roadside attractions and old Hollywood actors

      @kstew4092 Рік тому

      @@ShelleeGraham I'm sure we have photos somewhere...hopefully one of my sisters has them. Our first trip in 1964 was a family vacation and we hit all of the attractions along the way. In those days gas stations were full service and along with putting gas in the car, the attendant washed the windshield and checked the oil. Our second trip in 1965 was when we moved to Arizona and that was pretty much just driving and stopping to eat and sleep.

    Love the Blue Swallow. My grandparents took me on road trips from babyhood to my teens. We stayed in the motor courts and as I got older it was my job to look at the AAA guide for the motels. I remember no Holiday inns too expensive. This would have been 1970-1986 or so. Everywhere. The motel with the glass? I remember those because my grandma always had us close those curtains. Love the series! Michelle from Omaha

I have to say one thing different since my childhood was there were so many Native Americans out and about in front of and working in trading posts & tourists attractions, rock selling shops along the road even nobody hitchhiking anymore. Can’t blame them ,I have to say.
