Guest n2dlord Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Thanks for the response Denny!! Yes, NC is in there also. Two-lanes would be nice for a while. We really do not have any area in mind that is why I posted to get an idea of what is good and not worth the time. We have approx. 7 days to go from Myrtle Beach back to Richmond Va for our road trip. I have looked into the smokie mountains and found the Carolina Outfitters and that looked good and exciting especially the white water rafting. We are also going to go to Rock City in GA/TN. We did want to see some of the country side in KY but not sure where to go. Got any ideas? I am not sure what you ment by (What group is this?)!

Guest n2dlord Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 HI Patsy, We will be going to Ashville to see The Biltmore castle, then I found the Carolina Outfitters it looks interesting. Other than that we have decided on going to Rock City/Chattanooga TN. We have approx. 7 day from leaving Myrtle Beach to go home near Richmond, Va. Got any ideas? What about KY?

Guest genoman45 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 We drove to Asheville this spring. We took 40 from Knoxville through the Appalachian Mountains and stopped at Hartford for lunch. There is a neat small cafe just as you exit off of 40 next to a stream and an outfitter. We had lunch on a deck overlooking the river and the mountain with a dog that decided we were friends. Asheville is great as their downtown never went through a renewal so it is full of funky shops and places to eat. It swings at night but it is also fun during the day. There are many places to see so if you are planning to go to Asheville, let me know. We then returned on the Blue Ridge which is a wonderful drive and then turned north or west on 321 to Knoxville - the drive is just a delight.

Guest drivetheost Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I took a variation of this drive in 1996. The scenery is mostly natural - the lake, woods, farmland - pretty slim on roadside architecture. Most of the classic rustic cabin courts and restaurants are farther north on the ?Circle Tour.? If you stop in Ludington, be sure to visit Ludington State Park. Besides the beach, tall sand dunes, and a great display of buildings constructed by the WPA, there is a long concrete walkway/boardwalk adjacent to the park entry drive. The walkway is unique in that almost every inch is stamped with what appears to be a non-repeating pattern of leaves, animal tracks, etc. ? the nature of the park. Never seen anything like it before.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yahoo's groups offer some very nice features including those that allow us to share pictures and other items. But the available space is, understandably, limited. I've often compared it to a refrigerator in a college dorm. Obviously, sharing responsibly is important and has become even more so with the recent increase in "room mates". It's mostly just common sense: Only put in appropriate stuff and take out anything with a passed expiration date. But at least one space saving technique is not obvious at all. When looking at a single picture, three sizes are listed. "Screen size" is what you are looking at, "thumbnail" is the small version used for displaying multiple pictures at once, and "Full Size" is a version that most of us can't even see. Only the person posting the picture and the group's moderators can see it. I believe that Yahoo keeps these large versions around so that the owner can order prints from them. For the group, they serve no purpose. A couple of examples show thumbnails of 1KB each, "Screen size"s of 17 & 28, and "Full size"s of 79 &139. It's typically the case that the unviewable "Full size" picture takes up much more space than the smaller pictures that we can see. All that it takes to prevent this is to delete the "Full size" version of any uploaded pictures. For the owner, a "Delete full size only" link is available above the full size picture. Go ahead and upload at any size, Yahoo will sort out what it needs, then delete the full size copy. If you want more control over things, "Screen size" is a maximum of 400 pixels in either dimension so you can do your own cropping and sizing before upload. If you do it that way, there will not even be a large version to delete. I certainly don't mean to discourage use of these eGroup features. Some folks have pointed us to images on Webshots and other similar services and some of us have websites where we can post pictures and other junk. That's a fine way to share things if you already have such a setup or are comfortable with that sort of thing. But the eGroup's photo section is there to be used and it's easy to do that. It's also something that is more or less guaranteed to be accessible by every member. But it's also easy to abuse and I'd like to think that Pat & Jennifer can be spared the task of deciding whether to throw out your wilted spinach or my beer.

Guest Christine Martens Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 While in Manitowoc be sure to see the Maritime Museum. They just did a bunch of renovations. They have a ship engine that you can make run (full size!), many antique boats on display and of course the U.S.S. Cobia (submarine) that you can tour. In downtown Manitowoc there is a tavern/restaurant called the Fat Seagull. They have great food and a fun atmosphere with lots of local memorabilia. It is at 807 Quay Street. Try the Split-tail sandwich... There is also the Rogers Street Fishing Village and Museum. It is a small open air museum- but a fun stop. Our family stopped at the Hamilton Woodtype and Printing Museum. It has all the wood letters for printing in all sorts of sizes, old printing presses and a menagerie of other things. One of the stranger museums I have been to- but fun. Christine Wausau, WI __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I don't know about 'cool' for the older non-chain motels, as they often get pretty bad after a few decades of use. As long as you are not coming through on a Packer game weekend, there will be rooms in motels in that general area. Most of the motels are south of Lambeau Field near Oneida St and US 41. A new one just opened at Lombardi and Ashland east of Lambeau, though, but I forget its name, it has a northwoods theme. > (6) Same for a neighborhood saloon where the die hard cheeseheads > hang out? Any sports bar in the Green Bay area will do for that, there are several good ones in the blocks around Lambeau Field. :-) With the re-enovations, there is now a full-time sports bar, 'Curly's Pub', INSIDE the stadium, too. Also, check out the 'Titletown Brewery' in the former CNW station in downtown Green Bay. Great food and beer. The former passenger platform is open for trackside 'patio' style dining during warm weather and you'll have CN freight trains going right past your table. > (7) Are there any "must-see" or "must-stay" lodges/motels on the Lake > Michigan coastline in WI? I would check out Door County. Keep in mind that the Lake Michigan side is less 'touristy' and more like old Door County than the Green Bay side. Definitely do a fish boil while up there. Beyond Door County, most of the cities along the shore have at least some sort of lakefront resort hotel/motel, with little mom-and-pop places scattered here and there in between. The quality ranges from the very modest all the way up to the Ritz-Carleton in Chicago. Oh yea, the recently completed PGA Championship was played on the lakeshore between Manitowoc and Sheboygan and the Whistling Straits course is open for 'daily fee' play (make reservations well in advance). OTOH, Kohler's big resort 'The American Club' is located well away from the shore in Kohler, WI. Another IMHO 'must see' is the newly expanded Milwaukee Art Museum, the Calatrava-designed addition is already a midwest landmark. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | | ____ | | | | | Michael G.

Guest rwarn17588 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Well, folks, after some fits and starts and moves to another state, Friends of the Mother Road's modest little celebrity autograph auction finally is underway on eBay. We had planned to make the requests for autographs much wider in scope, except that a Mr. Paul Harvey gave us a check very early in out 2003 fund-raising that pretty much covered our preservation costs that year and then some. So the autograph hawking got put on the back burner. Anyway, here is a list of what's for sale -- Al Unser autographed photo from an Indy 500 winner's circle shot and an iron-on T-shirt transfer logo of his children's charity. -- Buck Owens color autographed photo. -- Robert DeNiro autographed photo. -- Michelle Phillips autographed photo. (She's of the Mamas and the Papas fame, and the photo ... yowsa!) -- Jimmy Buffett engraved autograph photo (not a real autograph, regrettably ... but at least his secretary didn't try to pull a fast one) -- R.E.M. autographed photo (current lineup) -- Former Olympic gymnast Shannon Miller autographed photo -- Clint Eastwood color autographed photo -- Kris Kristofferson autographed CD and an autographed program from his Texas Music Hall of Fame induction last year All these folks have a link, however peripheral, to Route 66. Shannon Miller, for instance, resides in the Route 66 town of Edmond, Okla. R.E.M. once covered "Route 66." Clint Eastwood filmed a couple movies on Route 66 and once shopped at Wrink's Market in Lebanon, Mo. Al Unser is from Albuquerque. You get the idea. Remember, all proceeds go to Friends of the Mother Road Inc., a 401 ©3 nonprofit. To find more about us, surf to www.friendsofthemotherroad.org If you want to find these items, do a search called "for Route 66 charity." It won't list Kristofferson's items, however, because his name is too darned long to fit that into the description line. Just do a Kristofferson autographed CD, program" search, and you'll find it. You also can find it by searching in my seller's handle "rwarn17588" Happy shopping, folks! Ron Warnick Tulsa, OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jane Dippel Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Blue Star Hwy. is the way up the lake. I take this drive every year after my stay in Three Rivers. It hugs Lake Michign. I would advise staying in St. Joseph instead of Benton Harbor. Silver beach located on the lake there is beautiful.The small downtown area is restored with lots of shops and places to eat. Easy on the street parking. Holland and South Haven also are on the lake with beautiful motels. As you drive up the lake you will see many motels that are well kept. This is a favorite part of my Michigan trip. There are many old fashioned sites to visit in Holland and you can buy yourself a pair of wooden shoes if so inclined. Now that you brought this up I am wondering if anyone in the American Road group has done research on the old House Of David located in Benton Harbor. I have lots of books, mementos, post cards and pictures that I have taken over the years there. Would love to hear from anyone with info. I visit here every year trying to collect and learn more facts about it........Jane There are 4 messages in this issue. Topics in this digest: 1. MI / WI Questions From: "brownwho63" 2.

I've heard good things about the Bay Motel on 1301 S. Military Ave., (920) 494-3441, near Lambeau. It's been there since 1958, runs from $36 to $78 a night, and it has a restaurant on the premises. There are other vintage motels in that area, but I haven't heard any recent reports about them. > (6) Same for a neighborhood saloon where the die hard cheeseheads > hang out? > Fuzzy's is former Packers lineman Fuzzy Thurston's bar. There's also the Stadium View and 1st & 10 around there. Kroll's also is a famous bar/restaurant west of Lambeau that serves cheeseburgers with a smidge of butter on them. And you may already have this planned, but make sure you DO check out the Packer Hall of Fame. It's a wonderful museum, and the pro football fan I am, I had tears in my eyes watching a video clip of Vince Lombardi give a speech.

This is the water route for old US 10 which starts at the Detroit River - Woodward Ave. The ferry takes about 3 1/2 hours. Hope for good weather - there is a swell and sometimes some nasty wave action on Lake Michigan. Get a behind the ear seasickness patch from your Doctor.

Guest Shellee Graham Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 September 30, 2003 Howdy folks, Just wanted to let you know that my touring photo exhibit "RETURN TO ROUTE 66: Photographs from the Mother Road," will be in Kansas City, Missouri from October 19 - December 7, 2003. I will also be doing a talk there on Saturday, October 25th. (I'll be nervous enough so don't worry about making the talk - No, it will be a nice slide show of many Route 66 images, some in the show, some not.). Here's the schedule for the next 15 months, hopefully, it will be in your "hood." If not, please consider a lovely 2-lane roadtrip to get there... Hehe.

Green chili is not tomato-based and generally features pork rather than beef. Some prepare it as a sauce, but some as an soup/entree.

Guest rwarn17588 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 From the Quay County Sun: Dean's Restaurant closes doors for last time William Thompson Earnest Dean Missildine and his wife Domie are getting out of the restaurant business. Tucumcari's long-standing Dean's Restaurant will serve its last meal today. The restaurant has been at the corner of Route 66 and Mountain Road since 1978. Domie Missildine, struggling with the emotions of closing her business, nevertheless said it was a relief to be retiring. "I have a lot of catching up to do at my house," she said. "I'll have more time for my grandkids." Her husband said he is grateful to all the customers who passed through his doors. "We just want to thank the people of Tucumcari and the surrounding area for their support and patronage over the years," he said. "We are going to sell the place and retire. I may come up with another venture someday." Bonnie Elliott once worked at Dean's and then became a regular customer at the popular restaurant. "They have the best homemade egg noodles," said Elliott. "I am on a salt-restricted diet, and the cooks here were able to fix anything I wanted without a lot of salt, and it still tasted good." Missildine mentioned the many truck drivers who frequented his restaurant. "Word has gone up and down the highway that we are closing," he said. "Truck drivers have been coming in and shaking hands with me." Everett Deane, a full-time truck driver, has been eating at Dean's since the early 80's "I'll miss Dean's. That's all there is to it," he said. "The people here are really nice, and it always had a comfortable atmosphere." Deane ate his last plate of huevos rancheros inside Dean's Tuesday before heading out on a run to Iowa. "They make the huevos rancheros here with just the right amount of pizazz," said Deane. "The pizazz was always consistent." The Missildine's son, Marty, was a part-time cook at the restaurant. He said he was proud of the food served at Dean's. "There was a pride factor with all the homemade food we put out," he said. "We served what the customers asked for. Most places don't cater to personal tastes." A number of celebrities have stopped to eat at Dean's over the years. The Missildines said they recall Western film stars Ben Johnson and Dale Robertson dropping by. Also, Drew Carey, Tanya Tucker and a member of the Oak Ridge Boys have eaten at Dean's. As of their last week of operation, the Missildines employed around 15 people.

Guest shhazam Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 A message search shows there is some interest in bike riding in this group. And, I'll bet there are some bikers like myself that love the old retro, single speed pedal brake bikes, too. After it was confirmed that my left knee cartilege is torn and my street running days were over, I found an old favorite activity to revive which allows me some good healthy exercise again without worsening my left knee. Have any of you folks tried bicycling as a regular exercise? I prefer riding a single speed, pedal brake bike known today as cruisers. Today's metal frame technology has made big improvements over my old Huffy cruiser. Bikes today are lighter and stronger. Here is one of my more energetic biking routes: http://www.2wheeltech.com/biking/gmap.php after you open the above page, click on Submit in the left menu, then go to the Search Routes and look for one entitled: "Port to park and back" then click on it. You should see a bicycle route for Benicia Ca. that I sketched out for this program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Burr Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Kancamagus Highway between Conway and North Woodstock is a beautiful drive - coming from the south take I-95 to Portsmouth, then Route 16 north to Conway. In North Woodstock, just one attraction that's well worth the stop is Clarks Trading Post - http://www.clarkstradingpost.com/ Happy Traveling.

I believe that you and I established some time ago that we're the premier trivia geeks around these parts. You don't get that way unless you spend way too much time surfing the net.

Guest Larry Kinsey Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I want to thank all who made suggestions for my upcoming trip to Wisconsin and Michigan, which begins tomorrow. After leaving the Dells, we will go to Manitowoc to take the ferry to Ludington, Mi and travel north along the lake to the UP of Michigan. Then west to Northern Wisconsin, over to Duluth, MN and eventually back to Kansas City. I will send an update as we progress on the trip and are able to get Internet access.
