Two Award Winning Stops Along I-40 and Old U.S. Route 66

I'm traveling back to the South on I-40---along the old U.S. Route 66---after several weeks in southern Arizona.

Here are two Webutante award winning stops along the way: a restaurant and a rest room.

First, Burger Hut above for Mex food and guacamole, guacamole, guacamole near the California/Arizona border. A one-of-a-kind little jewel that hits the spot!

Then, the ladies rest room at a dazzling new eastbound rest stop near Amarillo, Texas. It comes with everything, including sparkling clean "powder rooms" and a tornado shelter. But with snow and bitter cold winds today and yesterday, tornados were the least of our worries.

I think Texas has the best rest stops in the entire country. They truly do a bang up job. California, on the other hand, gets poor marks by comparison.
