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.

Route 66's Red Carpet Corridor Festival-- Part 13-- Back to Towanda

Last entry May 21st.

Now we're back at a favorite Route 66 place, Schenk's Garage in Towanda, a fairly new and somewhat private place that is not always open, but whenever Dawn or Mark are at home, their garage is your castle. Everybody's welcome and don't be too shy to impose.

They've been at the house for 11 years and decided that since they are right by Route 66 and that is one of their favorite roads in the world, to turn their garage into a Route 66 Nirvana (and partly to show off Dawn's ever-increasing collection of Mother Road stuff).

Entering that garage is special. Not only that, but the whole outside of the garage and yard has Route 66 stuff.

We sure had a great time listening to Hillbilly Jones and ended up staying for the full time they played and missed the northern part of the Red Corridor.

I made a lot of video of the classic automobiles leaving the car show and it was even better with Hillbilly Jones playing in the background. Quite a few of those vehicles had to make a swing by the place to show off. Some decided to go the extra rubber and burn some for our enjoyment. One guy wasn't so nice and left his mark on Mark's Route 66 shield he painted on the road and got in trouble for (as he didn't have permission).

More to Come. --RoadDog
