Back home again. I like the road a whole lot, BUT REALLY LOVE being home. This is one reason trips over two weeks are somewhat rare. This was a six-day cruise through the Midwest capped with a three-day drive on Route 66 in Missouri and Illinois.
We drove 1,224.9 miles driveway-to-driveway, put in 44 gallons of gas and spent $112.42 on it, while averaging 27.5 miles per gallon.
Gas Prices
Dekalb, Il. $2.73
Ottumwa, Iowa $2.54
Lake Ozark, Mo. $2.40
Eureka, Mo. $2.50
Pontiac, Il. $2.64
Gas is always more expensive in Illinois, especially the closer you get to Rip-Off City. For some reason, regular gas in Iowa is more expensive (by 10 cents) than regular plus. Never have figured that out. What gives?

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.
