The August 2008 Midwest Living magazine had an article about 45 places that haven't been "discovered" by the crowds and the authors, George Hendrix, Claudia Capos and Barbara Morrow, think you should check them out.
I'm not covering all of their suggestions, but some that I found of interest.
RESORTS
West Baden Springs Hotel in Indiana with its inspiring lobby. Also, neighboring French Lick Springs Hotel. Both were in ruins and decay, but have been brought back to life. Doubt that I could afford to stay at these places, but are worth a walk-through.
DRIVES
Smoky Valley, Kansas-- 60 mile scenic trail through central Kansas hills. www.ksbyways.org
Historic Hills, Iowa-- follows the Des Moines River through Van Buren in southeast Iowa. Especially now that the flooding has receded. www.historichills.com
Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches, Ohio-- Magnificent churches along a 38 mile route in western Ohio. www.ohiobyways.com
Nothing like a great drive through the countryside, especially when there is a theme to it.

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.
