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.

So, What is the Proper Way to Cruise the Dixie Highway, Or Any Old Highway for That Matter

The Zensshipji Blog, www.prjorgensen.com/blog/ did a series of posts from a cruise down the old Dixie Highway in late June to early July.

Before starting, the author listed Dixie Highway Road Trip Rules, which I completely concur with. These are good to follow for the Dixie, Lincoln, National, Route 66, or any other old road you might want to travel.

Here they are:

1. Don't drive on the interstate.
2. Follow the traditional Dixie Highway or US-25 as much as possible.
3. Do not eat fast food.
4. Do not eat at a chain restaurant you can visit regularly.
5. Eat at restaurants listed in "Roadfood"
6. Stop at whatever museums, minor league baseball games, monuments, interesting architecture, or whatever strikes your fancy en route.
7. Take pictures.
8. Tweet/blog/tumble on our way
9. Make journey in six or seven or tennish days.

Well worth reading the trip blog as well. A true old road person. I'd surelike to see the Dixie get an active organization like 66, LH, and the National Road.

Good Advise. Thanks Zenshipji. --RoadDog
