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, Jan. 2019: Galena, Kansas, and Jensen's Point
JANUARY 15-- Man vows to reopen 1939 Texaco station in Galena, Kansas. The station is located at 6th and Main Street. Aaron Perry is the man.
Glad to see something else being restored in Galena.
JANUARY 19-- Book review of "Jensen Point: Story and Reminisce" by Wayne Winchester.
He bought Jensen's Point in 1991 and fence it off to keep vandals out as much as possible, but always planned on reopening it to the public in the future.
This is a 90-page book with lots and lots of photos.
I was named for botanist Lars Peter Jensen the director of Shaw Arboretum in Gray Summit, Missouri who died at age 71 in 1941, two years after Jensen's Point opened.
I'd sure like to go to the top of it sometime. That view has to be something else.
