Roadside Attraction Sign Project—Additional Signs Delivered

12/30/2025

 
The New Mexico Route 66 Association is excited to announce two additional signs in the Roadside Attraction Sign Project have been delivered!

Signs were delievered to:
Sunset Motel, Moriarty | website 
Flying C Ranch Travel Center, Encino ( I-40, exit 234) | website

The Sunset Motel is a Classic American mid-century motel located on historic Route 66 in Moriarty—35 miles east of Albuquerque on Interstate 40. The family-owned business has been serving guests since 1959 with a history that embodies the spirit of America's most iconic highway. Today, they continue the tradition with clean, comfortable rooms, and friendly service at an affordable price. The motel is the only remaining original Route 66 motel in New Mexico to still be owned by the original family, dating back to 1959 when Elaine and Bill Pogue started the establishment to welcome travelers off of Old 66.

Flying C Ranch is a tremendous place to stop when traveling through New Mexico. This store is located on Interstate 40 (Exit 234), about 70 miles east of Albuquerque and 40 miles west of Santa Rosa. Flying C Ranch has the normal selection of merchandise including a selection of T-shirts, bajas, Indian and Mexican made blankets. Fuel, including Diesel Fuel, is available along with 24-hour pay-at-the-pump service, and the onsite Dairy Queen has a large menu available for you any time of the day.
