FEBRUARY 5
The Munger Moss Motel is holding a celebration for its big anniversary in June. And, I am talking about the 50th year that Ramona Lehman has owned it. It will be held June 18-19.
Her husband Bob died in 2019.
If there are two more people than these two who sum up the Route 66 experience I don't know who'd they be. Sadly, we called a few days after we heard about it and the place is already sold out, but we will be there, even if we have to stay elsewhere that weekend and then get a room afterwards.
One of my absolute favorite Route 66 things to do is go to the office in the morning and talk with Ramona and Bob. There are always other 66ers there as well.
The name of the motel refers to the name of a former sandwich shop in Devil's Elbow, Missouri, built in 1936 by Nellie Munger and her husband Emmitt Moss. The building still exists as the Elbow Inn (but is currently closed while undergoing renovations. To say that it is/was rustic would be an understatement.) This is another one of Liz and my favorite stops for a cold brew after a hard day's cruise.
They relocated to Lebanon, Missouri after Route 66 bypassed Devil's Elbow and the Munger Moss Motel was built in 1946.
Plus, this is the 75th anniversary of the Munger Moss Motel.
