<strong>Route</strong> <strong>66</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> (Joe Sonderman) <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> is "The Land of Enchantment," offer<strong>in</strong>g a fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g blend of Native American, Spanish Colonial, and Western American cultures. The travelers from the East knew they had arrived <strong>in</strong> the great Southwest when they entered <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>--the towns along <strong>Route</strong> <strong>66</strong> were ablaze <strong>in</strong> neon, and the motels lured travelers with Western themes, Pueblo Revival architecture, and Native American trad<strong>in</strong>g posts. An adventure still awaits the traveler today who takes the time to exit I-40 and leave the franchised blandness beh<strong>in</strong>d. The neon still flickers at the Blue Swallow Motel <strong>in</strong> Tucumcari, on Central Avenue <strong>in</strong> Albuquerque, and at the El Rancho Hotel <strong>in</strong> Gallup. The "Fat Man" still smiles at Joseph s Bar and Grill <strong>in</strong> Santa Rosa. The stories beh<strong>in</strong>d those landmarks are here, as well as the stories beh<strong>in</strong>d establishments that are lost forever or slowly crumbl<strong>in</strong>g to dust among the tumbleweeds.<br />
