Tucumcari New Mexico to Springer New Mexico Roads

Have any of you taken the route from Tucumcari to Springer via US 54 to State Highway 39 up to US 54 to Springer. We are going to Red River New Mexico via Tucumcari and was looking at that as a shorter route than going all of the way to I25 North off of I40. The part from Tucumcari to US 56 looks kind of isolated, but was shorter. There will be two Units, a 32' Class c, and a 39' Toy hauler. Do you see any potential problems? Thanks in advance for any responses.
  • It's been a few years but I did go that route pulling a 5th wheel. There were no problems. The road was smooth and didn't have any steep grades.

    Now you have "Willin'" playing in my brain.

    I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
    I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know
    But I'm still willin'

    Out on the road late last night
    I'd see my pretty Alice in every headlight
    Alice, Dallas Alice

    And I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
    Tehachapi to Tonopah
    Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
    Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
  • Thanks for the replies, I think we may just try that route this year, it will be something different. Magnusfied, I hope the reminder of Tucumcari is a pleasant one. The funny thing is I lived in Dallas for 20 years. Stay safe in your travels.
