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.

Cruisin' Nebraska-- Part 8-- Take the Scenic Route

Page 26 of the 2010 Travel Guide has a map of the state with all nine of the scenic routes mapped out on it, "...follow the two-lane to out-of-the-way attractions, breathtaking views, and some of the best homemade pie your fork has ever encountered." That pretty-well sums up those two laners for me.

Tour #1 385-GOLD RUSH BYWAY-- In the 1870s, as much as $200,000 in gold each day was transported over this 158-mile route. Interesting landmarks at Courthouse and Jail Rocks and then there's Carhenge. Follows US Highway 385 along northern part of state along US Highway 385 from north to south in the western part of the state. www.VisitNebraska.gov/goldrush.


Tour #2 BRIDGES TO BUTTES BYWAY-- Almost 200 miles "of untamed open road" through Nebraska "in its most pristine form." Runs east to west along northern border along US-20 from Valentine to western border. www.VisitNebraska.gov/bridges.
