September 23rd
We'd been on I-70 ever since the Indiana line and getting near I-77 when I decided we'd had enough super slab and it was time to get off on a two-laner.
This past spring, I drove most of the National Road/US-40 through Ohio using their excellent auto guide, and I decided Liz would like to see my favorite stretch from Zanesville to Cambridge.
Got off west of Zanesville and found that the McDonald's DID NOT have McRibs!! Not too happy about that.
Drove across the Y-bridge and past the courthouse which Liz agrees looks a lot like the beautiful one in the square in Pontiac,Illinois. East of town, we stopped at an old place called Mickey's for a really good pork tenderloin lunch. They date back to at least the 1940s.
Continued on our way on some old brick alignments, the first recorded traffic fatality, and those two beautiful S-bridges. Liz agrees that this is one of the great old road drives anywhere.
Needed a Break. --RoadDog
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.
