Up at 7 AM this morning and greeted by some mighty heavy fog. The poor classic car guys were out there wiping down their cars frantically. Their poor vehicles had probably not been left out in the elements for a whole night in a long time. Saw one guy in a orange Judge Goat leaving, no doubt to go to the local car wash.
One nice thing about being on the road with a bunch of road folk is the conversations at breakfast in the morning. Quite a few people at the motel's continental breakfast. Many were wearing road tee shirts, so easy to pick out. Others were only too happy to join in on any conversation.
Two couples said they had driven parts of Route 66, but not the whole thing. Of course, I bragged that I'd been the WHOLE way, quite smugly. They both said that Illinois gets high marks for its signage and that in otter states they were often unsure if they were on 66. This is unlike the guy at the Munger-Moss get-together for their anniversary who felt that there should be no signage as that was just part of the fun of driving old roads.

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.
