Saturday and Sunday, we were on the Route 66 Association of Missouri's Motor Tour from Miami, Oklahoma, through that short stretch of Kansas and the state of Missouri east to the town of Bourbon, whose water towers have to be among the most photographed on the Mother Road or anywhere for that matter.
We stopped at historical museums in Baxter Springs, Kansas; Rolla, Missouri and Cuba, Missouri. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time in any of them, but this was a first-time visit for us and we'll definitely be back.
The museum in Baxter Springs was especially impressive.
Along Route 66, we saw the old stuff, like the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon and the Boots Motel in Carthage. And then, there were the new Route 66 places like Mr. C's, the Cave Restaurant, Tow Mater from the movie "Cars" and new addition "Big Red" from the same movie at the Four Women on the Road station in Galena, Kansas, and the Rosati Winery Museum and sampling room near Fanning. Of course, there is also the World's Largest Rocking Chair in Fanning as well.
Sure Enjoyed That Motor Tour. --Cooter
