SEPTEMBER 22-- Larry the Cable Guy meets the real Tow Mater, the 1951 rusty International boom truck his character was based on in the movie "Cars." It is owned by Cars on the Route in Galena, Kansas. He signed the glove box.
Tow, meet Matter. Git ;'Er Done.
SEPTEMBER 22-- The Springfield (Illinois) Journal-Register was running a list of 66 Things to See on Route 66 from July to September 22nd. You can see the entire list at Route 66 News for this date. And some say there is not much to see on Route 66 in Illinois. There were some I hadn't even heard of and a lot were left off the list. Interesting nonetheless.
SEPTEMBER 26-- Shea's Gas Station Museum soon will be auctioned. There are a lot of interesting comments on Route 66 News for this day.
I am really sad to see it go. This was Bill Shea's legacy to the road he loved. Too bad one place couldn't buy it and keep it as a museum open to the public. Very sad that Bill's family chose not to keep it going.
We are sure glad we got to visit the place often and had many long talks with Mr. Shea.

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.
