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.

Roads With a Civil War Connection
Today, we were on US-12 which is called the Iron Brigade Highway, named for the famous brigade from the Midwest. I believe it is called that in Michigan as well.
Tomorrow, we will be on US-20. which through Illinois, at least in Illinois, is called the US Grant Highway. I would imagine that is because he was living in Galena, Illinois, when the Civil War broke out, and that town is on US-20 near the Iowa border.
