We're getting ready for a road trip downstate, despite the outrageous gas prices.
This will be the annual Route 66 International Festival, which is held in a different city every year. Last year it was in Clinton, Oklahoma and Albuquerque before that. We went to the first two in Springfield, Illinois, as we were getting hooked on Route 66, and from there, old roads in general. We also attended the third one in Tulsa, which was a great one.
Actually, we could also be heading out west to Evanston, Wyoming, for the Lincoln Highway Association's 16th annual convention, but decided to stay closer to home with the gas prices as they are. We would have hit all the flooding in Iowa, so it's probably just as well we didn't.
Today, I compiled a list of NTN sites east of St. Louis, as we are thinking about perhaps driving over the old Chain of Rocks Bridge, always a fun thing to do. This will be something people will be doing Friday.

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.
