SURPRISES ALONG THE WAY

CUMBERLAND INN - Williamsburg, Kentucky
Great food, elegant dining and has a wonderful weekend buffet at breakfast, lunch, dinner for around $9.00. Homemade is the keyword here. The food is wonderful. A Yamaha piano is playing for the guests. .

BIG TEXAN RESTAURANT- Amarillo, Texas
You see the signs about 700 miles away advertising it...by the time you get there you think of it as your best friend. "FREE - 72 oz. STEAK DINNER if eaten in one hour" the sign says. Yes, it's true. Several thousand have tried, about 4,000 folks have succeeded.

CLINES CORNERS TRAVEL CENTER - Clines Corners, New Mexico
Again you see the signs about 100 miles away. "Worth waiting for" so the sign says. It's more of a travel center in the middle of New Mexico's high desert. Post cards, post office, gas, and restrooms are here. The food is somewhat yucky to fair. Food is moderately priced.

THE GIANT PILOT TRAVEL CENTER - close to Gallup, New Mexico
Now this is a great surprise in the middle of nowhere. It is like a mini mall. Everything you need is here! A store, gas, post office, food, (plenty of it) NICE restrooms await you. It's all here!!

ANGEL'S BARBER SHOP - Siligman, Arizona
Off Interstate 40, this is a MUST STOP! Angel Delgadillo is the shop owner and is one of the original folks to start the Route 66 restoration movement.
