Note: Heading east leaving San Jon you have a choice. In good dry weather taking E. Main Avenue (1926 Route 66) which becomes a dirt road will take you past the ruins at Endee and on to Glenrio. In less good weather taking I-40 east will rake you to Russel's Travel Center at exit 369 and on to Glenrio at I-40 Exit 1 in Texas.

The EAST link below takes you to Endee.
