We'd never been on US-20 west of Dyersville, Iowa (Field of Dreams). We'd already driven the Lincoln Highway across Iowa (I've been on it as far east as Canton, Ohio, and west to Omaha, Nebraska), but saw lots more than I knew existed. A big thanks to Jeff LaFollette. This was definitely a well-planned trip.
Good to Be Home, Though. However, We're Getting ready for a Route 66 Motor Tour Across Missouri in About Ten Days. --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.
