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.

Cumberland Gap-- Part 2: Was US-25 E
In the 20th Century, US Highway 25 E crossed Cumberland Gap until it was rerouted as a tunnel under the gap in 1996. They then recreated the Wilderness Road.
It now takes four and a half hours to drive from Winston-Salem, N.C. now, but back then it took several weeks.
The author hiked the Wilderness Road Trail from the Daniel Boone Exhibit Area on the Virginia side of the gap. Some places to visit are Gap Cave and Cudjo's Cave.
