Finally managed to leave the house at noon and took Il-47 to Route 66 in Dwight as usual. Stayed on 66 to Springfield, then superslabbed I-55 to St. Louis and I-44 out to Eureka where we got a room at a motel and then found that the car wouldn't start. Oh joy!!
The auto club will tow us tomorrow and hopefully get the car going again.
I can think of many worse places for your car not to start in. One fun thing though, the motel told us we couldn't leave the car parked out front, so Liz and I had to push it up a slight incline. When the engine's not running, there goes your power steering. Sure would have helped to have had some more hands pushing.

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.
