Looks like we will miss you going thru Missouri. Vicki and I have plans the next few days. or we would plan on meeting up along I-44 somewhere.
There are several more stretches of the old 66 going east from Joplin. I believe Lebanon has a stretch thru down town. Then St. Roberts also has a good portion open that swings down by the Devils Elbow and across the Big Piney river.
If you stop at Rolla, check out the
Tater Patch for lunch or dinner. It's just off the Hwy and has great food. A bunch of hotels right there also.
Several more places you may want to stop by and cool off.
Meramec Caverns and
Missouri State Park Cave Tours.
In St. Louis
Ted Drewes Frozen Custard is also on old 66 / Watson Rd. / Hwy 366. A lot of city traffic to get the though. It's a landmark in St. Louis.
You can also drive down town and check out the
Gateway Arch and
Eads Bridge. It was also part of old 66 a long time ago.
Okay, enough typing, I'll check in tomorrow and see where your at.
Safe Travels
Don & Vicki
