The Obie's Longbranch Saloon building is still standing across the road
from the Mt. Taylor Motel ruins. Obie's is in better shape, but appeared
to be closed when we went by in 2015.
Apparently
they had a yard sale at some point. The windows were all boarded up
when we went by in 2015.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
