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.

50th Anniversary of the Kanc

The weekend of August 15th and 16th marked the 50th anniversary of one of the great drives in the nation, New Hampshire's Kancamagus Highway (pronounced Kanc-uh-maw-gus). It is usually referred to as the "Kanc."

Construction of the 34 mile long road took 23 years and was quite an accomplishment considering obstacles that had to be overcome. It runs east-west through the White Mountains, following New Hampshire Highway 112. Every fall, it is packed with "leaf peepers" intent on seeing the colorful foliage. It has been classified a National Scenic Byway.

Before its construction, there was no direct route from Lincoln to Conway.

Looks Like a Definite Road to Check Out. --RoadDog
