$5 on red, $5 on black... lol. ;O)
How was your RT 66 trip?
Did you stop in Atlanta, IL., and eat at the Palm Grill?
What was your final destination?
It was good, but hot! When I went 2 years ago, we stopped at a lot of the restored gas stations. This year was a mishmash of things. I did make a quick detour to the Lincoln Tomb. Funk’s Grove wasn’t an official stop this year either, but I stopped and got some syrup anyway; saw some others doing the same.
Got a ketchup bottle hat pin, so I was thrilled with that! Had seen the tower on my own the first trip, but there were people this time with info about its history.
The first night stop was Litchfield; was going to go to Ariston Cafe but it was PACKED, so went to Jubelt’s instead.
Last stop on Sunday was Towanda; and YES, Palm Grill was our lunch stop! Or rather, Atlanta was, and you could eat wherever you wanted. I think most everyone chose the Palm. LOL. I had a Rueben sandwich but no pie.
I’m thinking the next trip I take for Route 66 in IL might not be during the tour; there’s so much to see and it’s hard to do when 100 people go piling in pretty much at once. And there’s still restaurants I haven’t tried yet, like Cozy Dog and Rite Maid....
