"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

Larry and Patsy, wish Alice and I were on this western trip with you guys, as we had a ball last year. We are planning to go next year....so hope maybe you folks can go along with us. Good luck racing, be safe, and visit the Blueberry Hill restaurant near the track in Vegas. Our group ate there almost every day of our 11-day stay in Vegas last year!!!!!! Good food. We will be watching for your posts as you travel west. Joe and Alice Tysinger

Well we drove 370 miles today. All the way to Joplin, MO. It is about 230 more to Noble, so we should be there by noon or so. The flyer says they don't start parking til 3. Do they usually wait til then? Here are a couple of shots from today:

Just a few miles from home. Exciting 2 lane blacktop!

The Courthouse in Wickliffe, KY

Nice curvy bridge going across the Ohio River

Going into Illinois across the Ohio River

That sign says "Welcome to Illinois"!

Main Street in the dead town of Cairo, IL

That sign says Missouri State Line. Somehow I am going to have to figure out how to get better pictures of the signs!

Missouri State Line again

Larry's caption for this one "Patsy's Big Jugs"

This was what was left after I finished eating the chicken livers, fried taters, macaroni and tomatoes and black-eyed peas. And of course, there were all those "throwed rolls". Of course, I missed when the guy threw the roll and it hit me in the face!

Does anybody know what these things did?

Looks real, doesn't it?

you guys are having a blast. My rig is in Springfield about 70 miles behind you. Joe Stillings is driving my rig. See you there. Irv

Larry Hill · 10-05-2011, 09:13 PM

The Lambert family

Look at the size of those rolls and jug of sweet tea!

Larry said this was rice????

Larry Hill · 10-05-2011, 09:21 PM

Cotten!!! A whole field of it!

And this was our first casualty of the trip! The tread came off the trailer tire and blew out. We didn't know it when it happened. A nice guy passed us and kept pointing. He pulled over when we did and came back and said he thought our trailer was on fire! Thank goodness it was only the tire! So by the time Larry changed the tire and then we stopped in Springfield, MO and bought 2 more (just in case), we lost a couple of hours today.

Hopefully tomorrow will go better and I will get some shots at the racetrack for you.

Oh, we passed a little convenience store that it looks like Bo Kenney might own. It was called the "Kum and Go"!

Joe you are right. I should have said breakfast. We had some really good meals in Vegas and Pomona and can't wait to go again next year. Larry and Patsy your pictures are great and makes us feel as if we are there again
