Down to St Louis

It was a good night , and good food at an odd Motörhead’s restaurant which has the largest route 66 sign and is about to get two giant green replica 29ft high old gas pumps we are told !
And odd night ! We awake to thunder and lightning which the forecast suggests will clear before 9 when plan to get back on road south !
There’s an odd section which is made red bricks ! We drive it and it’s odd!
Next stop is the Doc’s soda fountain at Girard but it’s not open yet - maybe tomorrow !
Then onto Carlinville with the million dollar courthouse which is a famous because it wasn’t needed ! It’s impressive but the county only has 40000 people today !
The jail is bleak !
The judges hotel is impressive but everyone knows he was on the take !
Lichfield’s route 66 museum and nearby Ariston restaurant is impressive .
Another old gas station before we hit the rabbit farm which is quirky and odd and without rabbits!
Lunch is at the Pink Elephant which is an odd selection of all types junk / antiques plus a retro restaurant ice cream parlour called Twistee treat !
It has a Trump giant , a man being stabbed , an alien and spaceship, nothing odd at all !
Down to the Illinois end of the road and the old chain of Rocks Bridge , a mile across and now only for walkers and bikes ! It’s hot and humid ! Another ice cream and we approach the huge Gateway Arch of St Louis !
The end of the road for us !Okumaya devam et
