Well, only one picture today.  One of the fun things about traveling is that you get to see things you haven't seen before.  We stopped for gas in Springdale Arkansas this morning and this vending machine was next to the station. For $2.75 you get one dozen "premium night crawlers"!  I didn't bite, pun intended.  You just never know what you're going to see.


We have more or less given up on the Rt 66 idea for the rest of the week.  We found that the roads were either in too poor repair to drive on or they paralleled the interstate with about 20 yards of grass between the two.  We ended up driving the interstate and getting off at certain places to get pictures of things we knew about from our research prior to the trip.  The idea of driving  Rt 66 sounded good, but like many other things in life, the reality isn't as good as the idea. We may at some other time, visit some of the other places we have read about, but not on this trip.


We are spending a couple of nights in Branson Missouri and then will stop to visit Scot, Gina, Justin and Hannah in Murfreesboro before returning home.
