As much fun as we have on the road, it's always good to get back home where we arrived about 10 PM yesterday after putting a bit over 1,500 miles on the cruise of Route 66 through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas (all 14 or so miles of it), and part of Oklahoma.
We've got a trip to Dog 'N Suds in Ingleside for their 99 cent Charcoburger Thursday special, boating, and visits to two lakeside bars: Southern Star and Steitz's up on Bluff Lake planned for today.
Already cut the grass today and even raked some leaves from the one crabapple tree in the front yard. We usually don't get enough leaves for a fire, one of my favorite things in fall. I've even been known to go over to other people's houses to rake just so I could have that great smell, the smell of fall.
Yesterday, we sort of paved the way for our Australian friends, the Sloans, who left behind us from the Route 66 Hotel in Springfield, Illinois.
Good to Be Home. --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.
