Do you have any idea how many states have panhandles? We thought America was more about love handles. Anyways, this might actually be the pan handle itself. They say when Paul Bunyan passed through Texas on the way to Seattle he tripped over the boot of the giant cowboy along the highway in Amarillo and dropped his favorite cast iron pan and formed . . . this thing. Or maybe that was Pecos Bill?
Like the Pecos River meandering through this great land, Route 66 is all dried up. But whereas seasonal flooding brings the Pecos back to life each spring, the town of Tucumcari, NM, is like the hopeful, buzzard-pecked gazelle waiting along the banks of ole 66 for the lifegiving flood of tourism that will never come again. Except for us in our large yellow moving truck. We had the frito pie.
