Guest Bob Reynolds Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I was able to attend a meeting of the Airplane Filling Station Preservation Association earlier this month, where they invited folks from the Powell community to come and share ideas, and here's how things stand. The building itself is in pretty good shape to have been abandoned for so long. Besides fund raising, their biggest problem seems to be just what exactly to do with it once it's fixed. Several ideas were put forth. The idea of making it a gas station again was rather quickly shot down. Both the building and the lot are tiny. Parking would be a major problem. Other ideas were an insurance office, a museum, a tourist info center, and even an interpretive center for a proposed hiking trail. One important piece of news is they now have a web site. http://www.powellairplane.org/ There are some neat old pictures of the place and some of the original plans. I'll be keeping in touch with them and will let eveyone know how things progress. BabyBoomerBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xtabber Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Greetings all! Wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My family lives outside of St. Louis, just off of several old parts of Rt. 66 (Manchester Road, Rt. 109, I-44 near Eureka and Pacific). I'm originally from the East, so I'm just getting used to all of the "road history", nostalgia and Americana that this part of the country offers. In addition to being an avid motorcyclist, I have a great affinity for bridges, so journeys that take me over terrific roads to get to great bridges are ideal. Living at the confluence of so many rivers offers a great opportunity to do that. Within an easy drive are the major rivers: the Mississippi, the Missouri and the Meramac, as well as the Illinois, the Gasconade, the Big and other feeders. Over the next few years, I hope to travel to many of the great bridges in this area and photograph them. If others share my passion for these great pieces of engineering, let me know of your favorites. I'd also like to be able to post pictures up on my website and let people see what marvels they are. Looking forward to talking about the Road with you all! Best regards, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jesus Is the Answer Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 We used to go to Wisconsin every year to Army Reserve summer camp at Camp McCoy. I loved that state too. One time our CO took us to a restaurant called The Tepee. It was out in the country near Sparta, I believe, and was shapped like an Indian tepee. I tried looking it up on the internet, through not avail. Anyone know if it's still there? If you live near by please go there. They had excellent food. --------------------------------- Sell on Yahoo! Auctions - No fees. Bid on great items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pat B. Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Greetings all! Just wanted to let you all know that with the American Road group's listing on Yahoo Groups' "Editor's Picks", we've more than doubled our membership on the group. Prior to us being "picked", we had 278 members. We now show 559 members, giving us 281 new members in just the last week. Welcome aboard, everyone! Also, an addendum to my "Home Sweet Home" note from a couple days ago. I found out last night that we (the Millers and I) finished 1st in the Touring Class for the Road Rally at the Corvair convention. None of us were at the banquet Friday night to accept the award, but some of our other club members picked it up on our behalf. If you ever do a road rally, it sure helps having 3 people!

Guest Jim Ross Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Hi Everybody, I have been working on the "Write of Way" department of American Road, and wanted to first say thank you to all who have written to us with words of praise for the magazine. We consider your take on it to be a vital barometer on how we're doing. Now the favor - We can't continue to publish only letters of praise, no matter how much we would like to. :-) I would like to see some comments or questions about the articles and departments, or remarks about what specific articles you would like to see in the magazine or topics or geographic areas you think would be appealing. You can send them to me at: jross@mockturtlepress.com or just post them to the group. Please include your full name and city and state. Thanks for your input! Jim R.

For one thing, when you're using a manual transmission (which the majority of Europeans prefer), you have a little warning - just enough to get the car in 1st gear - before you're expected to go. And they *do* expect you to go the instant the light turns green. The curious thing is that I never saw anyone "jumping the gun". Well, for one thing there are cameras everywhere, but I suspect it's a slightly suicidal habit. --John ___________________________________ john@jecorcoran.org is John Corcoran http://jecorcoran.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jim Conkle Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 As most of you know Marty’s daughter Amy has leukemia and needs a bone morrow transplant. The family is blessed in having a lady by the name of Linda Gentile handling the blood drives and getting media attention to this cause. Linda and I with Marty’s blessing will be starting a blood drive within the community of devoted fans of the TV shows Route 66 and Adam 12 of which Marty was one of the stars. For those of us that know Marty and have spent time with him at events or on the road have come to think of him as a friend and supporter of our cause to preserve all two lane roads. We are now given an opportunity to preserve our most important asset A LIFE. So if you are able to join in on only one preservation project in your life this is the one. Amy is in need and we roadies will answer that need just as we do when ever a friend or fellow traveler is stranded on the road. Amy is not only Marty’s daughter but a mother herself. You will get to know Amy and learn more about her cause and how you can help later. We wanted to let all of you know that Marty and his family sends their love and thanks for caring and getting involved. Guy Randall will be putting together a web site with photos, information and facts pertaining to this project. Linda is organizing blood drives across the country and we will be sharing with each of you how you can also take the test. The data is entered into a data base so that your personal information is kept on file for future needs. Some of the requirements are that you must be between the ages of 18 and 60 in good health. Again even if you are not a match for Amy you could be for someone else. The San Bernardino Convention & Visitors Bureau the folks that put on The Rendezvous are involved and are going to be working with us in this most worthwhile endeavor. Thanks and you will be hearing more in a few days.

Guest S. McSherry Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi folks. I am a new member. I live in NW Arkansas. I own a vacation rental home near the Buffalo National River Park and just a couple of miles off of Scenic Highway 7. Scenic Highway 7 has been written up in several publications as has the river. I have a link to an article on Scenic 7 on my web site. Adjacent to my vacation rental is the old theme park "Dog Patch U.S.A." Talk about esoteric americana... I was excited to see this group as I enjoy auto touring and exploring places off the beaten path- which is exactly how I ended up here... I will post my web site if that is OK- if not, I am sure the moderator will catch it. www.buffaloriverretreat.com Thanks for letting me join! Looks like a lot of good info here!

There's a lot for tourists on Lookout Mountain including Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Incline Railway and Point Park.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 England does a similar (maybe identical thing). On the red->green change, yellow comes on along with the red shortly before the green. Green->red has yellow by itself just like the U.S. I've always thought that was a very sensible arrangement. I know it's an unrealistic dream but adopting it here could put an end to those inconsiderate and dangerous parades through red lights that seem to be happening everywhere. --Denny > -----Original Message----- > From: John Corcoran [mailto:john@jecorcoran.org] > Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 7:37 PM > To: AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] RE: Old Traffic Light > > > >I also remember when a > >lot of the lights would go to orange again, just before they went to > >green.

There is a resurgence of fresh interest trying to make it ??? something. There is a new restaurant( The Hub)/ motorcyle thing there promoting the area to motorcycle riders. Apparently there were hundreds (predicted 1800- do not know the actual count)there for a rally last weekend. Scenic 7 was written up in some motorcycle magazine lately. It is really scenic as the name would imply. "Dog Patch" is an interesting story to me. There is a nice article on its history you can find on the web. It has a host of historic vernacular buildings that were relocated there when the National Park System acquired all the property within the easement along the river. It is a ghost town with a checkered past. Personally- I prefer the ghost town to the theme park. The area does offer some interesting driving. Just thought I'd throw it out there. > > > David Backlin > us71(at)sbcglobal.net > In search of the road less travelled... > ... and the perfect pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
