We've been on the road since the 6th and drove across Illinois, a real little part of Iowa by Keokuk, a whole lot of Missouri, and little bitty parts of Kansas and Oklahoma.
Saw Mickey Mantle's home town in Commerce, Oklahoma. The Marsh Bridge in Kansas. Tornado damage in Joplin. Boots Motel in Carthage, Missouri. Spent three nights at the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon. These last two dating to the 1940s.
Also, we met two Route 66 characters, Dean Walker and Cowboy Don.
Ate at Lambert's Cafe and caught "Throwed Rolls" by Springfield, Missouri, and that great old Steak 'n Shake in the same town on the way back.
There were plenty of museums and a whole lot of Civil War related stuff.
The last three nights we have been in Springfield, Illinois. To say there is a lot of history here would be an understatement.
