Old Bluewater Motel
A compact roadside relic on historic Route 66, the Old Bluewater Motel offers classic mid-century signage, weathered stucco, peeling paint and long low single-storey lines framed by New Mexico skies. Shoot neon and sign details, motel bays and desert foregrounds at golden hour or after dusk for moody light. Easily reached from NM-122 with roadside parking; respect private property (likely closed/abandoned). Weekday mornings and evenings have the best light and fewest passersby.
