  Well the plan is to take Route 66 to Joplin,mo.,(after church) takes Lil over hr. on I44,parts I road on(yestarday) went from 35mph to 60,so no telling how long this will take,So looked up some Vid's
 http://www.route66people.com/video/route-66-in-6-minutes-and-66-seconds
  There a pic in it of the station/store i stopped, look for 15 cent price war sign.

  Plan to clear my phone/camera so I can get lots of pictures to chose from,went across a cool 1 way/lane bridge.and a few emptie buildings.

  May take me all day ,Doing all the stops, Route 66 Drive In ,heard of old new Motel being redone.  ..May have to just go to church on way back since it starts at 1pm,going to be in 100's again ,So would be good cooling off as well as refreshing the soul.
  Now getting excited a bit,guess I need a "T"-shirt for the trip .

       All because I spent to much $$$ on bike during the month and have to use drop box to pay fine by 23rd,.....DARN..
