A bit of advice regarding the Madison, IL stop:

Here's some Rte. 66 info Jack from Mississippi offered up so graciously.

I'm staying at the Casino Queen, is that a good place?

[70chevyC-10]

Just don't lose all your spending cash bro - lunch is at the Elbow Inn on Rte. 66 the next day - yes - the Route 66.
I was on it (Route 66) in the 70's on my full dresser but I don't remember much of the 70's if you know what I mean.

Is that like a hutch on steroids?

You are a funny man Mike!! Phil, Lunch at the Elbow Inn sounds good to us. Our car club is crusing to that stretch of 66 in April but I think that we are eating at the BBQ place at the 66 and route 28 junction near Ft. Leonard Wood.

Sorta kinda - 1973 - just before it blew up outside Grants, NM. -



And here's the guy in the orange shirt- my buddy Mike - at the Proving grounds with me last summer...... time does things to us 38 years later.

looks like a really neat, offbeat kind of place. got 4-1/2 out of 5 stars. when i goggled it though, they showed three other BBQ places near by that got 4 to 5 stars also.

That was my "date" Jack - I was packin' double, carrying all the tools and beer - no wonder the SOB puked it's guts trying to keep up with that 750 Kaw.

See - they're half again as good as those other places - but I heard it's mostly a biker bar so we'll fit in.

[oletrux4evr]

I'm hoping Earl will fit in their parking lot.....sounds like a neat place, I'm planning on it.
