Day 3

Previous Day  Calendar Next Day

Sullivan, MO to Lebanon, MO

 

It was raining. We started the day by going to the Route 66 McDonalds.
We were disappointed-we were expecting more memorabilia.

We went to Meramec Caverns. We took the tour, got lots of photos, and stopped at the gift shop. It had stopped raining when we got out.

We hit the road again. When we stopped at the Wagon Wheel Motel for pictures, we met a guy from New York driving Route 66. He took some photos of us with our car (showing the back painted window) using Jerry’s camera. He said he was a photojournalist for a digital photography magazine. He thought our story was neat so he even took some pictures of us with his camera!

For Sale.  Cuba, MO.

We went to the town of Arlington, which became a ghost town when Route 66 bypassed it in the 40’s. Today it is a campground.

We also saw John’s Modern Cabins-which weren’t really modern at all. They were abandoned log cabins that were rotting away and were all overgrown.

We drive on and saw Devil’s Elbow, which was actually named for a bend in the river, not the road.

We only made it to Lebanon, MO tonight and stayed at the Munger Moss Motel. We went into Lebanon for dinner and on the way back we stopped at to take a picture of the motel’s neon at night and bumped into the guy from New York again.
