Glenrio, TX
This is the old Route 66 town that is now a ghost town since the highway went through a mere 1/4 mile north a couple of decades ago. Steinbeck would have driven past this motel. The town strattles the NM/TX border, and I think I was standing about on the border when I took this photo. That is why this motel's sign used to say "First XXXX in Texas."
