Exploring around OLD US HWY 71 through Southern Missouri. – Looking for bluffs at Elk Springs

by Richard Dinkela II on October 15, 2012

Before my last repainting trip on Route 66 I wanted to go find the bluffs at Elk Springs.  I had seen them on an old post card and how they loomed over the road in an ominous stance.  I was able to find them…. I can’t share them with you because I didnt get there until dark.  BUT I did find lots to take photos of before I got there…. I always have to travel the OLD highways, and this time it was US71.  I got to see lots.  Check it out.

Swing bridge at I&M canal

February 2, 2012

See the full gallery on Posterous Just outside of the town, Romeoville in Illinois is a neat old bridge. What’s most interesting about this bridge is that it pivots or swings. This would allow large vessels to travel past the bridge. It’s only several thousand feet from old route 66 in Illinois. It’s definitely worth [...]

Like The Sidewalk Highway On Old Route 66 Through Oklahoma?

October 31, 2011

Check this out.  Here is a pristine sidewalk highway through the mid-western part of Illinois.  In my best guess, I would say this road dates back to before the federal highways, probably from about 1915.  The road is only about eight feet wide; barely wide enough for today’s modern cars. There are long broken stetches [...]
