Route 66 Unpolished: Cuervo to Tucumcari

About This Event

Cuervo was finally dissected by interstate 40 & has been referred to for quite sometime as a ghostly town. On the stretch of New Mexico’s eastern Route 66 one drives slow and easy while passing over WPA bridges without anyone else on the road. 

The Wilkenson’s place and the remains of The Richardsons Store in Montoya continue to crumble just out of view of a speeding interstate.
