The day was overcast and cool when I left Windham on HWY 71.. temp was -2C and not a nice day.
I didn't actually go into Wall Lake Iowa to check out the house where Andy grew up but I'll take their word that the signage is accurate. I did turn around and come back so I could get a pic of the signs.
I hit Route 66 just outside of Joplin Mo. It's a neat name for a town.. after one of my favorite singers. I didn't see a lot of exciting photo ops.. so I won't be making up any stories about Route 66 .... yet...
I did manage to take a selfie (with my camera). There is a story about the bridge in the last pic. This is a rainbow curve bridge built in 1923. It's the only remaining Marsh Arch Bridge (whatever that is) left on route 66, - History lesson for the day and there may be a test!
I made it as far as Baxter Springs Mo tonite.. it was kinda exciting to see the Route 66 signs.. Lord knows how far I will travel tomorrow.. but not in any hurry..
Life is Good.
