In the last post, I mentioned that Ken and Delores Bogren had met five guys& a goat while taking a picture of the Niangua, Missouri, bridge. Now, that name sure piqued my interest to find out more. One of the things that we really like about Route 66 is that you just never know what is around the next bend.
Lots and lots of stories out there. And you just don't know. Like the time Liz and I were at Ted Drewes in St. Louis for a concrete stop and came across a whole bus load of Brutish folks on an end-to-end Route 66 trip.
We talked with a couple enjoying that frozen treat and they said they had just been in Springfield, Illinois, the day before and that morning and after, the concretes, they were going to get back on the road and spend the night in Springfield.
They said that they were a bit confused as to why they were going back to Springfield, Illinois, since they had just been there. We explained to them that the United States is a big country and there are many cities and towns in different states with the same name. "You are going to Springfield, Missouri."
Just one of those little Route 66 tidbits, nothing major in its own right, but just interesting.
Back to Springfield? --RoadDog
