Sunday started with clear blue skies little wind but cool temperatures, around 8C (42F). I waited for Ben to catch up with me at the Hotel in Tucumcari and we headed off around 10:30am. Our first stop was at the Blue Swallow Motel (ca. 1940) with dial phones. The owner showed us around for about 45 minutes and told us about a great Motorcycle road to Las Vegas, NM, which was our lunch stop.
I recommend NM#104 from Tucumcari to Las Vegas, it climbs to 6,800ft and the zero traffic, we saw 10 cars in 100 miles.
Spent considerable time at the old Harvey House at the Las Vegas station, I need about $15million to put this Jewel on the map again .
After lunch at a Mexican cafe (packed with people), food was very good, we pushed on another 60 miles to Santa Fe, with high winds and gusts over 35MPH, this made the last hour hellish for sure and we had no option but I-25 for about 50% of it.
We are staying at the Old Santa Fe Inn, out of this world place, very old, but with WIFI and very elegant rooms, we have a Junior Suite by the way, with fireplace.
