Lighting has just come on for the night as a rare vehicle heads west on former Route 66 a few feet from NM.

LEDs backlight new letters on the middle sign, paid for by owners of a marijuana dispensary on the NM side. They've also covered exterior graffiti on the former Phillips 66 gas station/motel/cafe.

When this was a going business around 1960, the owner put up the poles with fluorescent tubes inside the middle sign, a strident commercial blast in the middle of so much nothing.
