APRIL 24TH, TUESDAY
** After lunch and the Arcade Museum in Atlanta, Illinois, we got back on I-55 and took it to Chenoa and got back on 66 and took it to Pontiac.
** Took a drive around the downtown, past that beautiful courthouse and really neat Bob and Ringo's Bar.
** Then we went to the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame and Museum. A church tour group was going in when we arrived. I had also been thinking about rejoining the Illinois Route 66 Association again as I had let my membership expire, so paid my $25. Looked at Bob Waldmire's van, which is inside. We'd seen it on several occasions when he was alive.
** Then we went outside and saw Bob Waldmire's converted school bus, his home sweet home, which is parked outside.
** Drove to Dwight, then back on Illinois Hwy. 47 and home.
Sure Was Good to be Back on the Old Road Again. --RoadDog
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.
