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.

Why I-80 in Nebraska is Boring
The McCook Daily Gazette in Nebraska ran a story saying that people cruising down I-80 through the state often complain that it is boring. The reason for that is that the interstate's planners made sure the road was always several miles from towns and the old Lincoln Highway, which it replaced. This drive is a lot more interesting. Straight and fast replaced curving and interesting.
Shortly after people on I-80 leave Omaha, they will be surprised by a vintage F-105 fighter jet on a pillar just a few yards off the highway. It is there to lure tourist to the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland.
This town is also very proud that a hometown boy, Clayton C. Anderson, is on his way for a long stay at the International Space Station.
Way to Go, Clayton Anderson. --RoadDog
