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.

Sycamore to Lidgerwood, N.D., Auto Trip in 1917
From the September 30, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"F.B. Townsend, Charles Townsend and John Organ of Sycamore left Monday morning on an automobile trip to Lidgerwood, N.D., a distance of some 700 miles.
"Word was received that they traveled the first 150 miles in four and one-half hours, and in a Ford at that, and reached Waterloo, Iowa, the same night, covering 260 miles in one day. They expect to be away from home for three weeks."
