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.

Illinois Marks Its Bicentennial With Cake and Passport Program-- Part 2
The new Illinois Bicentennial Passport program encourages people to get their passport stamped at 56 spots until November 30. Collect enough passports stamps and you're entitled to prizes. (For example: Get 35 stamps and you get a mule-pulled ride aboard an 1840s-style canal boat on the I&M Canal.)
You can pick up a passport at any one of the 56 passport stops, most of which are clustered in the I & M Canal and Looking For Lincoln National Heritage areas. They include the newly remodeled Springfield Governor's Mansion and the Field Museum.
Free slices of Eli's Cheesecake will be served around the state on August 26, when the first Illinois Constitution was adopted two hundred years ago (but none in Chicago).
Party It Up Illinois. Happy 200th. --RoadDog
