As I sit here just a-typin' away with my own two fingers in Clinton, Iowa, I'd have to say the decision as to whether to go west to the Mississippi or stay around home has been made.
As I said before, there are three major objectives to this trip besides some great highway cruising: see the Clinton Lumber Kings play Class A baseball, see the 100-or-so pre-1949 street rods and maybe do some road tripping with them in Galena and seeing the Oregon Trail Days celebration with Native Americans on Sunday.
We also want to eat at two of our favorite place: J&D Steakhouse in Clinton and the Log Cabin in Galena. Plus, we have three new NTN sites to visit in Dubuque, Galena and Mount Morris.
We drove three great roads yesterday to get here. And, I was on these same three roads about three weeks ago: Il-72, Il-2 and the Lincoln Highway. All three of these are great drives.
Three weeks ago, I was involved with the annual Lincoln Highway Association conference in Dixon, Illinois.

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.
