Sitting here in the Super 8 in Fenton, Missouri, getting ready to leave for the tour whenever and if-ever Liz gets up.
As usual, we will be running behind time. The rest of the group are back at the Route 66 Park and getting ready to leave for the downtown St. Louis bridges. I hope to join them at the Chain of Rocks Bridge. Few things finer than getting one of the rare chances to drive across it. The owners now charge $5, but it is well worth it. In the past, it has usually average 20-30 minutes to drive the mile-long span.
Other stops in Illinois today:
COLLINSVILLE-- the giant catsup bottle
EDWARDSVILLE-- Route 66 Mother Road Festival
HAMEL-- Weezy's Bar and Grill (old Scotties/Earnie's)
MOUNT OLIVE-- Crossroads Cafe
CARLINVILLE-- Hall of Fame Banquet
Hope we Get Caught Up with the Rest of Them. Come On, Wake Up Liz. --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.
