Tee Pee Curios on Route 66

It's not the only teepee on Route 66, but this neat little building fused onto a concrete wigwam is part of Tucumcari's continuum of retro-photo opportunities.

We can scarcely imagine how many have said: "My tee pee photo came out awesome! I must journey the length of Route 66 and capture it in ironic-yet-beautiful images. For my coffee table book!"

Such is the magic of Tucumcari.
