Good trip story, huh? Hoda, new member from Greensburg, Louisiana, 30 miles from Baton Rouge, in the woods at the hunting camp with deer, wild hogs, etc. Ya'll come.

Guest Hoda Allen Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 1. I always check the price of real estate, have for 30 years, no matter where we went. I always picked up a real estate guide and even called a few phone numbers. You (not me) could have bought a brick house ON THE BEACH in Destin for $70,000. At that time, our $22,500 house notes were killing us ($220). The same spots where the $70,000 houses were then are million dollar hotels now. 2. To have some time with the kids, we took my oldest son, his wife, and their two baby boys on a Labor Day trip (5 years ago this coming up labor day). We took our 31 foot camper and stayed ON THE BEACH, first row, looking at the water in the only on the water campground in Destin/Sandestin. Wonderful! It's still there. My little dil said, "I could live here." My son said, "Really?" They came home, put up a for-sale sign, sold their house, packed up and were gone in no time and are still there. Now, the grandchildren live in Destin and there's one more boy. Be careful folks, when you give them wings, they fly. 3. My son and dil had a couple of friends come over like this past winter holiday for the weekend to see them in Destin. They were all standing in line at a good restaurant. (You always stand in line at a good restaurant in Destin.) The guy friend and whoever was standing behind him struck up a conversation. Where you from? What do you do? Oh, really? I need a manager for my construction company. You manage your father's construction company? Three conversations later, friend was hired. They came home to Baton Rouge, put up a sign, the husband left immediately for the new job in Destin and bought them a house over there. Wife sold house here and packed up and moved. They were moved into their new house a few blocks away from my son in 2 months. Woe! Only complaint? The house they left in Baton Rouge for the same money is 10 times? or more the house they have in Destin. She already had an appropriate-for-the-beach cosmetic surgery over there, so the money must be worth it, big time. By the way, the same surgery here costs a lot less. My son says the projection is for 12 more years of growth/boom in that area. They are building a new bridge from Sandestin to Freeport, so that will make three bridges crossing over. 4. My favorite places to eat in Destin? #1 McGuires Irish Pub: always a line, everybody else copies THEIR potato skins, and THEIR brownie fudge sundae, they have an 18 cent Senate bean soup that you have to always get, of course homemade rye bread, great traditional Irish fare especially the Shepard's Pie and the lamb chops. Not everybody has lamb, you know. It is also a microbrewery and everybody is always singing there. The atmosphere is great. They also have like $100,000 worth of dollar bills hanging from the ceiling. You can ask for a sample of a type of beer before you buy it (just in case you don't know.) #2 The Pancakery: always a line, Dean Martin-Frank Sinatra music, stuffed chickens and moose that talks and moves on the walls, coffee pot really brewing right on your table, fresh squeezed orange juice, apple smoked bacon, every kind of pancake and crepe you ever heard of: wonderful. Oh, bakery inside with EVERYTHING. Oh, did I tell you they make their own Italian beef sausage. Wonderful. #3 The Broken Egg: always a line, like eggs 50 ways, we get the crab/shrimp omelet, apple smoked bacon, fresh squeezed orange juice, homemade everything, wonderful. They have every type of Eggs Benedict, but different that you never heard of. 5. Did you know you can get your scuba certificate in one weekend for $99 from some Fort Walton outfit? 6. Did you know you can scallop (with snorkel and hand net) right at Mexico beach and see all kinds of fish and underwater creatures? Warning: the tide goes out and your are stranded. They say that there are like 40 boats per night stranded out on the glass flats till the morning tide comes in and it is deep enough to get their boats back in.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Jim, I'm really embarassed now. Right before I left, I remembered reading a good summary of that "game" in the not so distant past but couldn't remember where. I should have thought of AR right off. I'll brush up (and blush down:) when I get home. I had not intended to make any daily progress announcements here (I'm trying to use a mailing list for that) but... since I just now finished yesterday's stuff and... since you've unintentionally given me an opening and... since I still have a little Yuengling to finish here on the patio of the Quaker Steak & Lube in Sharon, PA, I'll go ahead and mention that the first day actually from sixty-two (there's only gonna be 2 more, this time) is ready at http://www.dennygibson.com/rt62east/day02/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: Jim Ross [mailto:pathfinder66@earthlink.net] Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 9:11 AM To: American Road Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] US62 Denny, It looks like you're showing more interest in US62 than highway officials did back in 1925-26 when Kentucky governor William Fields did everything he could to kick that road out of his state.

Guest Hoda Allen Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Don't forget the time I was coming home from Paris via Memphis and caught a flight with Uncle Barry - neither of us knew it of course. When Uncle Barry was coming down the ramp he saw a huge crowd of relatives there to greet him home from his business trip, what a nice surprise!!! But the truth was that they were really there to greet me coming back from my summer in Europe. We all went out to eat together to celebrate, of course!!!

Guest Bob Reynolds Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Got a postcard in the mail the other day from a local church offering a vacation Bible school with the title "Ramblin' Road Trip". I thought the card was cute (note the Bible verse in the shield:), so I scanned it and, since it was a single image, put it in the photo section of the newsgroup under the BabyBoomerBob folder. BTW, is anyone having problems getting their posts to get through? I finished my Dixie Highway writeup sunday and sent it in. Two days later, it hasn't shown up. It's likely floating somewhere out there in the Twilight Zone:) It's about 14K, whick I didn't think was too long but I may be wrong. I might split it up and try again. Happy Motoring, BabyBoomerBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alex Burr Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Not a relative, but in 1959, on my way home from my last Navy duty station I stopped in Memphis to see my then 1? year old daughter. After my visit I took the bus out to Memphis airport for a flight to Boston. There was an older woman sitting beside me and we got to talking. When I mentioned I was from Kennebunk, ME, she exclaimed that she and her family had had a summer place in Kennebunkport in the 1920's and 1930's and did I know the wonderful gentleman who had done their yard maintenance - a Mr. Burr. Mr. Burr was my grandfather, I told her, much to her amazement. It's nice when complete strangers express such great feelings for your relatives. Happy traveling.

Guest Toshio Koshimizu Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Pat, Thank you again for your kind hospitality in Indianapolis when we visited. In my last mail here, by mistake I didn't mention about our trip on IL Route 66 and we could meet many nice people gathering at White Fence Farm for IL Route 66 Motor Tour. As Jennifer noticed in advance our visit to the promoters of the Tour, they could recognize us soon after our arrival and welcomed us very, very warmly. On Route 66, we could easily find many interesting points by the maps and photos Jennifer gave us. Thanks again and say hello to Jennifer. Regards, Toshio ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat B.

Guest ken Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hi Denny, I should have used the word AWESOME! Ha Ha Ha! I have been to a few route 66 sites & this one by far exceeds them all! No offence to the other sites, But this site even has a chat room that started just a few months ago. I noticed also that Alan Jackson may be making a song for this historic route! Check out his brief "Guest Book" note, I believe that it was dated Jan. 16th 2005 or somewhere around that date! The comments & stories from people from all over the world are very fun to read! Mr Frantzen deserves alot of credit for maintaining such an "AWESOME" site!

Not thumping my chest, but we've got some pretty cool stuff, that, now that I think of it, only 4 other roadies have ever seen: Toshio & Hiroko, and Randy & Melody May. I think that'll be fixin' to change! I'll post a note once it gets done. However, if you look really close in Toshio's picture of our futon, you can barely see on the bookshelf T. Repp's "Empires of the Amusement" standing proudly above the rest...just to keep it on topic. :-) Also Denny, we're heading down to French Lick, Indiana Saturday to tour the West Baden Springs Hotel with our Corvair club.

Guest Pat B. Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 It's currently open for tours, but not "business". However, a casinon is coming to French Lick, so the locals are hoping it'll inspire someone to purchase the hotel (for $30 mil) and re-open it.

Guest Christine Martens Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 The Badger travels between Manitowoc, WI and Ludington, MI. There is a second new ferry that runs between Milwaukee and Muskegon, MI. There may be more in the future from what I understand! If you have time you should certainly go up to Bayfield- but that is about a 3 or 4 hour drive from the Manitowoc Area. They have many cruises and a ferry that runs across to Madeline Island. There is a ferry from the top of Door County to Washington Island. That is pretty darn fun! Of course Wausau is just a couple of hours away!
