We left this past Thursday, April 21st for the 500 mile drive to Lebanon, Missouri, for the 70th anniversary of the Munger-Moss Motel on Route 66. Not only has the motel been serving 66ers since 1946, but owners Bob and Ramona Lehman have had the place for 45 years (1971). That alone is quite a feat.
We have been coming to the motel since our second trip on 66, back in 2003
The first day was spent driving in Illinois with stops at Dwight for the Route 66 90th Birthday celebration, Dixie Truck Stop, George Ranks, The Cozy Dog and stayed at the Route 66 Hotel and Conference Center and their Filling Station Bar.
The second day, April 22, was another driving one with a stop at Jack's (Jack-in-the-Box) in Litchfield for our taco fix, then getting lost in St. Louis. Then lunch at another Jack's in Sullivan, Missouri. (We don't have Jack's by us and have a big desire for their tacos.)
We took a ride along Hooker Cut, my favorite stretch of Route 66, and a stop at The Devil's Elbow Inn and the Munger-Moss Motel. Talked some with Ramona and then went to Senor Pepper's on Missouri-5 and Applebees.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
