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, Feb. 2019: A Bridge, A Sign and No More Trailers
FEBRUARY 18-- Work to replace the historic Horse Creek Bridge near Afton, Oklahoma, is underway. It was built in 1936 on the east side of town. Now it is structurally deficient.
We must have driven over it if it is on 66, but don't remember it.
FEBRUARY 19-- The Sonrise Donuts sign in Springfield, Illinois, came down. It was on top of the building for 70 years and Springfield purchased the sign recently for $22,000. But, it will be restored to its former glory and placed somewhere, so it is not gone.
Always enjoyed looking at it as we drove by and we once ate in the building when it was open.
FEBRUARY 20-- The Enchanted Trails RV Park & Trading Post is no longer renting out its vintage tractors. It is in West Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the past you could stay in a 1974 Silver Streak, 1959 Spartan, 1969 Airstream or 1956 Yellowstone.
They said it was too expensive to keep the trailers in condition. That would have been a trip back into time.
