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.

ILMOTOUR 2010-- Part 6: Dookie, Wookie and Mookie

While at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Jefferson City, I noticed that three of their top ten players have the names Dookie, Wookie and Mookie. That's pretty good. For awhile, i was playing the names Whodah, Doodah and Boodah while I was protesting the forced switch to the new sign in.

We then took US-54 to the Lake of the Ozarks area and checked into the Shawnee Bluff Motel in Lake Ozark. This is a great little and old Missouri motel with that wonderful giraffe stone on the outside of the rooms, a pool, hot tub and a panoramic view of a large part of the Lake of the Ozarks.

We had happened upon the place the last time we came through the area and were hoping they had a room. They did. The price is reasonable as well, around $80 for a tourist spot during the summer.

Even better, it is just about a 100 yards away from a bar. It used to be Risky's and was owned by the folks who also owned the J.J. Twigg's by us in Lake Zurich and Wauconda, Illinois. However, they have moved to another site closer to the Bagnell Dam.

A new bar is in its place called Road Boaters. We thought that was a great name since both Liz and I definitely like boating and the road.

One day, we Might Even get Out to Route 66. --RoadDog
