Part 2 of our Route 66 tour picks back up in Tulsa, Ok and continues through Lupton, AZ. Travel dates April 30-May 8, 2019 Musical Highway...On this quarter-mile section of the highway, the rumble strips have been engineered to sound like the song “America the Beautiful.” But they won’t croon their patriotic tune for anyone with a lead foot. Drivers have to be going exactly 45 miles per hour (the speed limit) to hear the vibrations in action. The “Musical Highway” was installed in 2014 as part of a partnership between the New Mexico Department of Transportation and the National Geographic Channel.
Midway Trading Post...between Edgewood, N.M., and Moriarty, N.M...It was built around 1945 and served as a cafe, gas station, curio shop, post office, municipal court and community gather place. It pumped its last gas around 1972 when I-40 was built, bypassing the Midway Trading Post.
