COMMENTS: Hop
off of I-40 and on to old Route 66 at the first exit after crossing the
border from Texas. It sneaks up on you as you come around a rocky cliff.
It is hidden from the freeway so you can only see it from Rt 66. Located
on the north side of the road. Update: Bard
actually is a general store/post office. My parents address was Bard,
New Mexico, 88411 up until about 1990. The building still stands, and
until 10 or 15 years ago, the owners of the old general store still lived
there. |
| This was an old trading point for ranchers. The gas station probably folded with the coming of I-40. A small phantom on Route 66 . Submitted by: Rory McManus |  Old Gas station on route to Bard Courtesy Rory McManus |
