So, Terry and I are planning the next leg of Route 66: Joplin, MO to Chicago, IL. July 1 or 2 to July 9 or 10, somewheres around there. The mill shuts down the week of the 4th and he’s looking at taking Thursday and Friday the week before so we can have plenty of time to amble our way to Joplin, up Rout 66 to Chicago, then back down to Statesboro.
Planning has already commenced, with visits to websites looking for oddball attractions and potential interesting things to see. Bridges are definitely on the list, and I want to see whatever we ride by that grabs my gnat-like attention.
Stay tuned for more information!

This is aunt MG. Have you been there yet? to Joplin, which was changed considerably this summer from the time I lived nearby. If you go there, you really should stop in at the next town east – Carthage MO – where I lived for 2 1/2 years. It’s an interesting, historical town with a lovely old courthouse square (I’m speaking about 45 years ago, of course, as I remembered it). See the Carthage Marble quarry, and if you like them, the “Precious Moments” plant (it wasn’t there when I was). I can tell you about some other Missouri places, if you’ll tell me your route.
