JANUARY 19-- Dale Bakke, former co-owner of the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico, dies. Dale Bakke and his wife Hilda bought it in 1999, not long after Gene Shelton bought it from long-time owner Lil;ian Redman. They sold it in 2006.
Dale was an excellent electrician and handyman and they restored the place to its former grandeur.
They owned it when we stayed there. Great people. I bought a beautiful photo Dale had taken of the sign with a beautiful sunset behind it.
JANUARY 19-- Co-writer of that great Route 66 song, "Take It Easy," Glenn Frey of the Eagles dies. More on that in my Down da Road I Go Blog.

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.
