  • In this episode we head to the Gary Gay Parita Station in Ash Grove, MO.
    We cross over the Historic Johnson Creek Bridge and check out Spencer Station.
    Then we drive through the Red Oak II Open Air Museum - www.redoakiimis...
    And we get to meet Jeremy - the manager the super-cool Boots Court Motel who introduces us to "Historic Route 66" page creator Marian Pavel who gives me a Route 66 Passport.
    I'll take you through the inside of The Boots Court Motel because that's where we spend the night with The 55 tucked into its own carport.

    The story of Lowel Davis "Red Oak II" is amazing. While its Not on Original Rt 66, its still a Great Time Era Experience

    I love your sweet sounding 55! I was glad to see you visit Spencer Mo, a friend of mine bought that and they have spent a lot of time and money fixing it up again.

    Great video, Jeff.
    Thank you.
    Some great places along the way.
    I really love the Spencer Station.
    As with your other videos, I recommend anyone watching to listen through headphones. It brings out the best of that V8 sound.

    The Johnson Creek Bridge is an old classic design, and cool Spencer Station, and then Carthage & the Boots Motel, a scenic Missoura drive on Route 66!

      @@jeffthisted You definitely picked out some great choices there. Don't forget about the other Wigwam motel in Rialto, CA. That is also a great choice there. Say do you want a teepee to sleep in your backyard???? Are the vintage classic cars at outside Blue Swallow Motel in NM and Wigwam Holbrook, Arizona still functioning or has their fuel already being long sucked out???? Btw. My name is also Jeffrey, not just Lin here.
