Abandoned Route 66 New Mexico: Land of Trading Posts

Author(s): Blue Miller
$24.99
DESCRIPTION

There are ghosts on Route 66 in New Mexico. Every abandoned building is a nod to the past, an echo of the days when the Mother Road was a bustling highway filled with people heading to work or on vacation; it transported towards their dreams or away from their nightmares. In the Land of Enchantment there was every element of Route 66—the long empty road, the teeming city, the breathtaking vista, the tourist trap, the bright neon sign, the glimpse of another culture. There were trading posts and service stations which offered not only fuel and food, but perhaps the chance to see a bear, an eagle, or a pit of venomous snakes.

Today, so many of those attractions which once lined the highway are gone, and those that remain are mere shadows of their former selves, the adobe crumbling and the viga beams broken. Abandoned Route 66: New Mexico records some of those iconic places before they are lost forever, and all that is left are ghosts on the wind.



ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)
Blue Miller is a British journalist who has been fascinated by abandoned places since she was a small child. She discovered Route 66 in 2005—more or less by accident—and since then has been documenting the everyday stories behind the Mother Road through her blog, as well as debunking some established legends. Her articles on Route 66 have been published in international magazines and her photographs featured in publicity material for Kingman, Arizona. When not travelling, Blue lives on the east coast of England where she writes about motorcycles and is bullied by her cats.
