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.

6 Iowa Drives-- Part 6: White Pole Road Scenic Byway

It's just 26 miles long and runs parallel to I-80 between mile markers 76 and 100.  It is not really long, but truly unique and one of a kind.

It connects the small communities of Adair, Casey, Menlo, Stuart and Dexter, Iowa.  As soon as you're on it, you will know why they call it the White Pole Road.  There are over 700 painted white poles.  Wow!!!
Its origins relate to old road signage.  You just followed the white poles and you got there.

Yep, you'll get to visit the "Original One Horse Town", the "Home of 1700 Good Eggs and a Few Stinkers."

I haven't driven this one yet, but it is high, high on my list.

I drove this a couple of years ago on the way to a Lincoln Highway conference. It's an interesting little side trip with a White Rose Gasoline sign in Menlo being a highlight.

Looks like an interesting road. I'll write more about it later.
