After you leave Amarillo about 70 miles west will be the New Mexico state line and the first exit which is just past the rest area is Russell's Travel Center at exit 369 and they have a free museum inside that has a lot of nice cars and other cool historical items to check out. It is definitely worth stopping and checking it out if you have the time.
Russell's Travel Center
Truckstop and Travel Center located on historic Route 66, I-40 in eastern New Mexico. Car museum, grocery store, classic diner, subway, and much, much more.

Darn it. Passed right on by without thinking. I was in a hurry to get on the road and being directed by 3 backseat drivers was in Tucumcari before I knew it.After you leave Amarillo about 70 miles west will be the New Mexico state line and the first exit which is just past the rest area is Russell's Travel Center at exit 369 and they have a free museum inside that has a lot of nice cars and other cool historical items to check out.

Wow, nice little truck. I can’t tell if it’s a short bed. Big back window, though, very desirable.

It is so cool to see your adventure across America. Even with the extreme number of miles that I have logged traveling across this country most of my life to make a living... I'm seeing so many things I have never seen before. 
Took a detour. We left a fantastic RV Park this morning west Albuquerque part of a Casino with a trick stop.... Fabulous.
Headed to Gallup, then north entering Arizona and we just now crossed into Utah. A Place called Monument Valley

Love The Mittens. One of our favorite places to visit. Great pictures.
Although not born in Chicago, my dad left Chicago in 1956 for the west coast. Came out here on 66.
Too funny.... My wife named them mittens
That's what they're called. One is East Mitten, the other West Mitten.
This morning we the very cool Hotel El Rancho in Gallup, NM and took the old route 66 into Arizona then took the I-40 to the Petrified Forest National Park. Toured around the park and have just arrived in Holbrook for the night at the Wigwam Motel.
