Steve,
Did you stop and see the old train depot in Tucumcari?
54 is a great cut-off, and well-traveled by the OTR guys, but them little towns along the way can be radar traps, and they cut down on your average speed.
Both Guymon and Dalhart have some good feed-stops, however, but the rest aren't much but wide spots.
I think the worst weather I've ever driven in was on 54 south of Dodge. Dark and scary evening, with a premonition of funnels dancin' in my brain.
Santa Rosa's a nice little town. It's one of the few little places where Route 66 hasn't all but disappeared. It sure reminds me of the '50's. Grants, NM is another.

Stop in Winslow tomorrow for a few minutes and see the "Standing on a Corner in Winslow, Arizona" display. Check out the '56 flatbed:
"It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me".
It's all there.
Gettin' their kicks, on.....

Winslow has two one-way main streets through town. Get off at the off-ramp where the Pilot is, and go west on the westward one until you get into town proper. The "corner" is on the east-bound street, one block over. It's about mid-town, and since town's small, you'll quickly find it.
Check out the second-story windows.
