OCTOBER 5-- Flash flood washes out part of Route 66 near Ludlow, California. Always strange driving this desert stretch.
OCTOBER 6-- New Mexico has announced that they will not be maintaining Route 66's Singing Road. I haven't been on it, but would like to. Hopefully it will still be there in 2017 when we next get out that way. Liz and I are hoping to cruise Route 66 when we are 66.

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.
