I take these from the excellent Route 66 News blog site. I just take the items of most interest to me from it, but of you're looking to know what's going on along our favorite road, this is where you want to go. There is a new post everyday along with more information, plus, I am always at least a month behind what I take from it.
MAY 3
Travelers are advised to avoid Las Vegas, New Mexico, right now because of wildfires.
MAY 4
Lucille's Service Station in Hydro, Oklahoma, sustains moderate damage from a tornado.
There was moderate damage to the roof, but the nearby office building, designed to look like the original motel at the place, was even damaged more.
Lucille, "The Mother of the Mother Road,"Hamons owned and operated her place for almost sixty years until she died in 2000.
The station was built in 1929 and is on the NRHP.
She was one person we sure would have liked to meet, but sadly, we didn't get interested in Route 66 until 2022.
