RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Chain of Lakes Part 3: Marquette and Joliet
Yesterday, I finally put my boat in for the season. My buddy Frank came over and we launched it at the Chain of Lakes State Park, about five miles from the house. The best part of launching there is that it is free. It will cost you $20 most anywhere else on the Chain.
Who knows, Marquette and Joliet might have used the very same place when they were exploring the Fox River back in 1763. The Illinois city of Joliet and Marquette University in Milwaukee got their names from these two.
This is one beautiful place. It borders three natural lakes- Grass, Marie, and Nippersink, and even has a 44-acre lake within its boundaries. Overall, it consists of 2,793 acres. It is located 60 miles northwest of Chicago.
