Newkirk, NM
October 16, 2023
Newkirk was founded in 1901 when a railroad was built through there. In 1941 it had 115 residents, two gas stations and two lunch rooms.
Today, Newkirk has lots of relics, but also has a store where you can get gas, beer and food.
The ride to Cuervo follows the Frontage Road, which is rough and bumpy much of the way. Be careful, especially for loose gravel.
