This one is one of the Main reasons I went this way on this Rt. 66 trip.
The UFO (Sputnik)was not working very well when we showed up.
It was flickering and not spinning.

It may be that it was turned off at the time because the Restaurant was closed when we got there.

It is located on the El Comedor Restaurant in Moriarty.
I did capture some good images but not in it's full glory.
El Comedor rotosphere is believed to be the only operational rotosphere along the length of Historic Route 66.

Maybe another time.

We had a blast anyway.
