Ep 94 | Sinclair Gas Station and a Visit to Bass Pro, Historic Route 66 Road Trip USA, RV Nutshell
April 19, 2018 by Life in a Nutshell | Language: EN Play Time: 00:15:40 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
E94 Vlog of Life in a Nutshell RV travels.
We leave Bennett Spring State Park and head along Route 66. We pull up at the Springfield Visitor Centre and meet a lovely lady who gives us the rundown on some of the iconic sites on Route 66.
Magnus gets his fix on Route 66 and drops in to Bass Pro to check it out.
We head out of town and come across Sinclair Gas Station which is one of the earliest icons on Route 66. A good poke around and we find out about more of the history of the Mother Road.
Other places we see along the way: Lebanon, Conway, Mansfield,
Holiday Theater Springfield, Rest Haven Court, Rancho Motel, Glenstone Court Motel, the Rail Haven Motel where Elvis Presley stayed, Steak n Shake and the ghost town of Spencer.
We hope you enjoy following along with us as we head across America on the historic Route 66 taking in the sights and learning about the history.
Magnus and Wendy
