A Good Night on the Route

We super slabbed Will Rogers Turnpike (I-44) back to Joplin, Missouri, from Afton, Oklahoma ($1.25) registered for the Missouri Route 66 Associations Motor Tour at the Holiday Inn, and drove over to Sportsmans (on 7th Street, the old Route 66) to play NTN. I got a lousy #21 individual score on one game. I might as well not have played with a #21. No one outside of the bar knew.

Checked into the Days Inn and walked across the street to Jukebox Saturday Night. There was a $4 cover charge for entertainment, but if you were staying at a local motel (there are about six within walking distance) you get in for free. Just as good, domestic bottles were $2.50 (as was Land Shark) and a band was playing.

They mostly played newer stuff and Liz didn't much like them, but hey, a live band, no cover, and $2.50 beers!! Not bad.

I should also mention that this was outside on the deck. However, at one point three cops came in due to a noise complaint from one of the local motels. The band was not too pleased with that an urged the crowd to show their "love"a a particular hand signal.

A Great Way to Start the Motor Tour. --RoadDog
