Well, okkkkkkk, so we have to agree that Ike and potential future hurricanes rule....we are going to skip New Orleans as well as Florida (apparently parts of Interstate 10 are closed). We will do that on a future trip another year EARLIER in the season!! We have moved east from our great friend Joe, in Wichita, and are headed to Memphis. We miss Joe already, what a great host he was. We saw parts of Wichita that we would have missed without him. In addition to Wichita's entertaining "Cowtown" and "Old Town", Joe took us to the Beaumont Hotel, a restored 1879 hotel (the only building in Beaumont). It hosts private fly-ins and motorcycle drive-ins on alterate weekends. The rooms have been beautifully restored. When in Beaumont the thing to do is to take a snap beside the last remaining wooden railroad water tower in the great west.....and there is Joe.
From Beaumont we continued east and drove a section of the infamous Route 66....do you remember George Maharis and Martin Milner....Bev had a crush on Maharis.
On Route 66 we crossed into Missouri and continued on to Monett.
