List Verse has just released their top ten Route 66 stops going east to west. That would be a hard job to pick just ten. Glad to say I've been to every one of these. Last comment my own.
10. Gemini Giant-- Wilmington, Illinois-- 20-foot tall green guy holding a rocket at the Launching Pad Restaurant. Great food.
9. Dixie Truckers Home-- McLean, Il-- said to be the oldest truck stop on the route. Bring back the world clocks.
8. Chain of Rocks Bridge-- St. Louis, Mo.-- across the Mississippi River. 24 degree turn in the middle. Been across it several times.
7. Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard-- St. Louis, Mo.-- Love those concretes.
6. Meramec Caverns-- Stanton, Mo.-- Jesse James' hideout. If you haven't been here, you haven't been on the route. The original bumper sticker place, but the first time we went, they didn't have any.
To Be Continued. --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.
