I start out where we left off.  After filling up at a gas station, then upon the attendants advice, filling up at Mac's La Sierrra Coffee Shop, we headed west rather satisfied and happy.

We headed west on Central out of Albuquerque.  Central, which is als Historic US 66 comes to a major intersection with Atrisco Vista Boulevard.  We turned right and headed north across the highway on an overpass to the I-40 west Frontage road.  We climbed out of the valley to Mesa Oeste.

Heading west on Central, which is also Historic US 66 in Albuquerque.  The city is very proud of it's route 66 history and heritage.

You climb up a big hill out of the city, then at the crest you can see down for miles.

At Rio Puerco road after passing the ghost bridge which was the old grade of route 66, I-40 is entered from the on ramp.  On the south side of the highway is the Laguna tribal Route 66 casino.

We stayed on Westbound I-40 until we came to the exit for Indian Service Route 54/491.  We turned right off the exit onto Indian Service Route 53, then made the next left on the outer road which is a nice segment of the old route which meanders around past owl rock.  This road becomes state route 124 as you come into Laguna, New Mexico.

After hitting the interstate for awhile, it is nice to pull off to enjoy the scenery.

This section of route 66, which meanders around a mesa, is one of the great scenic spots.  This view is the exit off of 40 at Mesita.

Owl Rock
 Monday 22 October 2012 16:52:29

Old 66 skirts by a mesa and passes by owl rock.  It is one of those spots that is easy to miss and bypass on the hyway.  People buzzing by at 80 miles an hour or better do not know what they are missing.

We got back on the highway at State Highway 124 and I-40.  We left I-40 at 117/Historic US 66. 

Grants, New Mexico

Grants, NM, USA
State Highway 117/East Santa Fe Avenue intersects US 66, and you are in Grants, New Mexico.  US 66 eventually becomes 122.  This is a 4 lane divided highway that heads west out of Grants.  This road eventually becomes a two lane as it becomes the frontage road for I-40.
Grants, New Mexico is one of those towns that has a nice collection of googie signs and architecture.  Some pass through, we are going to have to stop, and look around.  Grants to Gallup has some of the best icons to be found on route 66.

From the real estate page....
Property located in the center of the town's main street. Building is in very poor condition and most likely needs to be demolished. Sign does not stay with the property. Has great potential for a retail business!
