Many old gas stations, rough roads, Hubble Telescope, A frog, and many many Murals.
We left Carthage, MO passing many an old dilapidated gas station as we journeyed on Historic Rt 66. There were some sections of this road which had recently been resurfaced and many more sections which were very rough and bouncy.
Our first stop was at Gary’s Gay Parita Sinclair Station. This is a re-creation of a station owned by Fred and Gay Mason in the 1930’s. There is a cobble stone garage built in 1926. The garage and the main station contain many automotive artifacts as well as a lot of Rt 66 memorabilia. Friendly stop that can be sensory Rt 66 overload.
Further down the road in Marshfield, MO at the Marshfield County Court House, one finds a 1/4 scale replica of the Hubble Telescope. This is the home town of Edwin Hubble, the creator of the Hubble Telescope. Amazing all the famous folks from Missouri.
Soon we enter Lebanon, MO where we find the Munger Moss Hotel, and took some pictures of the big sign. Across the way we saw Wrinks Market. Glen Wrinkle started this market in 1950 and it is still in operation to this day.
Just east of Waynesville, Mo, there is a rock out cropping which looks like a frog. Local residents eventually have painted this rock to fully resemble a frog.
Stuckey’s of Doolittle still sells Stuckey’s Pecan Logs and a midwest road trip would not be complete without a Stuckey’s Roll.
The area around Rosati, MO was settled by Italian immigrants who planted grapes which became wine. This area is steeped in Italian Immigrant wine making tradition. There are several wineries in this area.
Who would not want to sit in the Worlds Largest Rocking Chair located in Fanning, MO? This location hosts not only the worlds largest rocking chair, but there is also a nice Rt 66 shop/feed store/general house hold items store. They have a great selection of various sodas and some really good flavors of popcorn.
Soon we are in Mural City or Cuba, MO. These murals are definitely worth a visit as they highlight the history and significant events of the town of Cuba. It was interesting to learn of the Civil War history of this area. One seems to think of the Civil War taking place further East.
We learned many of the local campgrounds had already filled up and a camp sites were in high demand. The folks in Fanning were kind enough to offer us overnight parking at the big Rocking Chair. We decided to head further east to see if we could find a comp ground. We knew we could stay at the Walmart in Sullivan, MO. Soon a highway sign came into view advertising the Blue Springs Ranch. We made a call and they had a space for us for one night. This is a nice place and we are here for the night. Sadly need quarters for the shower.
