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, Nov. 2018: A Turkey Thief On the Loose
November 24-- The metal turkey marking Illinois Route 66's famous "Turkey Tracks" has been stolen.
This stretch of the road dates to the 1920s, and at one point after it was laid, some wild turkeys crossed it, leaving their mark for posterity with 34 tracks.
These are near Nilwood, Illinois.
Sometime before or on November 11, the metal turkey was stolen from what is now known as Donaldson Road. This stretch was built between 1926 and 1930.
The site is marked well now, but, when we first saw it in 2002, it was hard to find and I must admit, we were more than a little disappointed with it. But, well, it's Route 66 history.
