A photo post of the Hamel Meramec Caverns barn as it now looks, on the Yahoo Route 66 e-mail group, shows that the line with the word CAVERNS is still there, so just the word Meramec at the top is entirely gone.
I didn't remember it as we were just speeding by on I-55 when I caught sight of it.
Or, at least that's going to be my excuse.
Regardless, it is sad to have lost that bit of 66. I am not sure if this was an original barn with the advertising on it or not. Hopefully the 66 Illinois Association can find another barn to paint.

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.
