Only in America, Gary! Fun photos.

Good luck to Sue on her show.

Chilly here today. Sunny but low 50s. Windy, too. Fall is here. bp

Sunny Sunday Morning. Enjoyed the pictures Gary. Up here we don't have many Old Highway Routes. I guess with limited routes through the mountains, the Old highway is improved taking the same path.

Yea, we ran into that with Rt 66 too in places, mostly in the mountains.
We ran into a little snag, or should I say a sharp curb corner. I hit the curb in just the right spot to pinch the tire between the curb & the rim and cut a gash in the sidewall. Of course nothing is open today, so we're spending the night in Cuba, MO.
Here's the offending curb. :oops:

Parking lot was full, so I was paying attention to avoiding cars & not noticing the sidewalk was not rounded off, but pretty sharp. I couldn't do that 2 times in a row if I tried, not that I would. :idea: :arrow: :|

Picture taking was "CUT" short today, but we did see the largest rocking chair in the world and toured Cuba, the mural capitol, before our day was deflated. About every available wall in town has something on it. These are just a few on one building.

Sorry about the tire. But great photos! Taking it easy today. Worked all day yesterday and have some more to do, but at least I slept in a bit. bp
