CLINES CORNERS 鈥� Weary travelers along Interstate 40 seeking a butter pecan fudge bar need look no further than Clines Corners, a kitschy truck stop about 60 miles east of Albuquerque.

In addition to multiple flavors of fudge, Clines Corners sells snacks, candy, moccasins, gas, pocketknives, jewelry, T-shirts and any kind of Route 66-themed souvenir imaginable.

Visitors to Clines Corners looking for some clarity can get their fortunes read for a dollar via an animatronic fortune teller named Zoltar. If you don鈥檛 like the fortune you got from Zoltar, see the alien or the medicine man next door.

The stop has been a fixture along the New Mexico highway for more than nine decades. Roy E. Cline opened Clines Corners on land purchased from the state off of Route 66 in 1934, according to his 1982 obituary in the Journal. He sold it four years later, but not before convincing the Centennial Oil Co. to get Clines Corners on the Rand McNally New Mexico road map.

Though early news stories refer to the travel stop as 鈥淐line鈥檚 Corners,鈥� the apostrophe was dropped over the years 鈥� official highway signage has listed the unincorporated community as Clines Corners since at least the 1980s.

In 1944, Cline opened the Flying C Ranch travel stop about 19 miles east of Clines Corners. He sold the business in the early 1960s.

Clines Corners has changed hands four times in 92 years, current co-owner Nicholas Cook said. The Cook family has owned the station since 2001.

Like other businesses along the Mother Road, Clines Corners is reaping the benefits of the Route 66 centennial this summer, Cook said.

Despite high gas prices, the travel station is getting more visitors than usual, he said, including a 鈥渇air amount鈥� of international travelers here to see Route 66.

鈥淲e really thought things were going to be hurting because of the gas prices, but it hasn鈥檛 changed much,鈥� Cook said. 鈥淭raveling is never going to stop. That鈥檚 the great thing about tourism 鈥� no matter what鈥檚 going on in the world, people want to travel, and they want to experience new experiences.鈥�

For some travelers, like Noah Lucas and son Jacob, 18, Clines Corners has been a road trip must-see for years. The Lucases stopped to refuel in the middle of the long drive from Dallas to Ojo Sarco in northern New Mexico, Noah said, adding that he and his friends have been making trips to Clines Corners since they were his son鈥檚 age.

鈥淭his is always the stop,鈥� he said. 鈥淎lways plenty of kitschy things to look around and shop for.鈥�
