The official tour started today at 8 AM at the Iowa Welcome Center in Missouri Valley. We caught up with them 2 hours later in Denison, just another case of CGLG (Can't get Liz Going in the morning).
While waiting for Liz to get ready, I went over to the Burger King across from the motel and tried their much ballyhooed double cheeseburgers that they say are so much better than McDonald's. They are. That was one tasty burger.
I noticed that someone had knocked down the height bar by the drive up and inquired and was told that someone had an RV and swore they'd had no problems at other BKs and planned to sue if they didn't reimburse for damage. The restaurant does not plan to do so.
Stopped at the Welcome Center to get a passport stamp, but it had been taken along with the rest of the group.
BRICK STREET STATION-- WOODBINE
Love that stretch of brick street coming into town.
There also were no motor folk at this place, but we were able to get a stamp and had some great pastries and coffee and a long talk with the woman there. Her sister and husband run the place and she was filling in while they taught school. They've done a great job rehabbing the place.

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.
