58. HENRY'S RABBIT RANCH, Staunton. Rich Henry's place. First time we went there, we got lost and stopped for information. We were told we couldn't miss it, "just look for the camels." Of course, I was a bit confused about this as I couldn't think of any reason we'd find camels in Central Illinois. When we got there, we saw the two camels on two of the old Campbell's Express trucks.
59. BLUE CARPET CORRIDOR, from Chatham (south of Springfield) to Collinsville. This stretch is getting in on Route 66 heritage and tourism with their version of the Red Carpet Corridor from Joliet south to Towanda.
60. WATT BROTHERS PHARMACY, Springfield.
61. BEER NUGGETS, Bloomington. Got to love those Beer Nuggets. Good with, well, beer.
62. BUNYON'S HOT DOG MAN, Atlanta. One of those "Muffler Men" holding a giant hot dog. Atlanta has done a whole lot with its Route 66 Heritage.

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.
