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.

Back to Indy-- Part 12: American Legion Post 500 and the Race, TV Stations, Cut-Throughs and 'How the West Was Won'

The American Legion Post 500 in Speedway, made a special effort to get that number (for some reason).  The Indy 500 and NASCAR race is "All Hands on Deck" for these folks, a huge money-maker for the year.  They are all really worn out by the end of the several days.

It had to be rough on them last year when the Indy 500 didn't have any spectators.  That was a major hit for them.  We already had our RV spot paid for in 2020, but let it roll over instead of getting a refund as they offered.

Back at the RV, we were amazed at the number of stations we could pick up just on antenna.

On several occasions, people actually walked right through our campsite.  That just isn't too cool.  Paul got after several and then put up a traffic obstacle horse to stop them.

I started watching the movie "How the West Was Won" and I hadn't really seen that since it was first out.  All I remembered was that there sure were a lot of stars in it.  Sue and Paul decided to go back over to the Legion, but John and I decided to watch the movie.
