I only wish I could make the actual trip like my main character does.

The website is www.wagonwheel66cuba.com. It is on Facebook as Historic Wagon Wheel Motel featuring Connie's Shoppe. The Wagon Wheel has been a Route 66 motel since the 1930s. He got a new owner in 2009 and has been nicely redone. The spokes you see from the Wagon Wheel is part of the neon on the sign. There are 100s of photos on the Facebook Page. The new owner likes that song.<br /><br />To learn a little about the Cuba, Missouri "Route 66 Missouri City" visit www.cubamomurals.com. We are on Facebook as Cuba MO Murals.<br /><br />Here's a tip: There is a History Museum across the street from the library where they do genealogy: www.crawfordmomuseum.com. You might want to call ahead & check the hours.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260621866337049828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-82993526071149686702012-02-10T19:08:59.439-05:002012-02-10T19:08:59.439-05:00Wow, you're right!
