ILMOTOUR 2010-- Part 5-- Don't Blink

Continuing into Missouri.

We passed a sign for Queen City, a small town with a population of 638. We couldn't help but chuckle when it went on to say, "Don't blink or you'll miss us."

Continuing south on US-63 and we came to Columbia, the home of the University of Missouri. This is when I recalled that there was a TGIF that had NTN which we hadn't visited before. We saw it right by I-70, but not in time to exit so had to go on a few more miles and double back.

Not too much farther south is Jefferson City, Missouri's capital. We drove by the capitol and then got off looking for the new Buffalo Wild Wings, but it was so new it wasn't on our Tom-Tom GPS so had to stop for directions. It ended up being north of town off US-50.

This is also where we found the used CD and record store where I found "Costello Music" by the Fratellis, a CD I had been looking for during the whole trip. It is the one that has Chelsea Dagger, the song they play at the Blackhawk games whenever the Hawks score. It has kind of grown on us.

Played that song all the rest of the way to Lake of the Ozarks. The rest of the album is pretty good as well.

One of these days we might even get to Route 66, our destination.
