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.

Along 66, April 2018: Catsup Bottles, Tumbleweeds and Trail of Tears
APRIL 23-- The World's Largest Catsup Bottle Festival is coming to an end in Collinsville, Illinois. I always like a festival, but never got to be at this one. Guess I won't now.
APRIL 24-- Tumbleweeds invade the Route 66 town of Victorville, California. They were described as very sticky and there were sure a lot of them that piled up by houses. I had seen video on TV news in a bar, but didn't know that was Route 66.
APRIL 25-- The Trail of Tears Memorial in Missouri reopened. Marie Rydberg is behind its rebirth. Larry Baggett made it. It honors the Cherokee forced removal to Oklahoma.
We had watched the place deteriorate over the years but it is so nice to see its back.
