We were gone three nights and four days on a great mini trip out to the Mississippi River.
Along the way, we drove along two great rivers, saw a Class A Midwest League baseball game, played NTN in five new places, saw Civil War history, drove on gravel roads and some just a tad better than that, saw some wonderful scenery (who says Illinois is flat) and found out about flathead catfish.
And here are some other things we did:
*** saw a parade
*** went to a community fair
*** spent two nights at a mom and pop motel
*** had the mom and pop motel experience
*** went to two wineries
*** one super liquor store
*** got lost on some back country roads, sort of
*** didn't see the Indians at the Oregon Trail Days
*** msde an unexpected trip to Rockford
*** saw more pre-1949 cars in one place than I've ever seen before

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.
