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.

Wow!! What a great trip. That's definitely the way it should be done.
Would have liked to get together with you, but didn't know how late we'd get into Cincy. We did stop at a Skyline for you-know what.
See you in a couple weeks.
