| U Drop Inn, Shamrock TX Opened in 1936, this "Taj Mahal of Texas" is designed to catch the eye of weary travelers crossing into Texas. |
 |
| Water Tower, Groom TX Another of the Route's intentionally quirky stops, this tower is all that remains of Britten's truck stop. |
 |
| Signposts, Groom TX Driving Route 66 today actually includes alot of time spent on I-40 which parallels and often overlaps it. Where this is the case, Google maps will show the freeway as I-40 and it's frontage road as Route 66. |
 |
| Slug Bug Ranch, Amarillo TX This one tripped me up a bit because I'd been here before, but it's not how I remembered it. Turns out, the Big Texan bought the Bugs and moved em from Conway to this spot since my last visit in 2018. |
 |
| Texas 66 Mural, Vega TX There are murals, and there are murals. Vega got it's money's worth. It literally can't be missed. |
 |
| Bent Door Cafe, Adrian TX Opened in 1947(ish). Closed in 1972. Did that door ever really work? 🤷 |
 |
| Phillips 66, Adrian TX Yes, the name is derived from the famous Route, and the shield logo in the shape of a highway sign was unveiled in 1930. |
 |
| Route 66 Midpoint, Adrian TX Another repeat for me (2019). 1139 miles to Malibu CA ←→ 1139 miles to Chicago IL |
177 miles driven on Route 66 thru Texas ✓
On to New Mexico...
