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.

Route 66 Stuff: Mule Trading Post and the Buried Car
Ron Warnick's Route 66 News Blog said that the Mule Trading Post, outside Rolla, Missouri, is the new home of the giant moving hillbilly sign which used to grace the now-closed Hillbilly Store. The Mule Trading Post is a classic tourist trap, and well worth a stop.
WOULD YOU BUY A CAR THAT HAD BEEN BURIED FOR 50 YEARS? WOULD YOU PAY $75,000 FOR IT? There is a bit of excitement in Tulsa, Ok, in regards to a Plymouth Belvedere that was buried as a brand new car back in 1957 during the Tulsarama Celebration of Oklahoma's 50 anniversary as a state.
It was buried in a container, but no one knows what kind of shape it will be in. It could be worth as much as $75,000.
It will be dug up at the corner of Sixth Street and Denver Avenue on Friday, and will be opened at the Convention Center on Saturday. Quite a few people have bought tickets and it will be shown live on the internet and TV.
