Edwin Hubble of Hubble telescope fame was born in Marshfield Missouri on Route 66 and to commemorate this, the town erected this quarter scale model of the telescope and displayed it on the Courthouse lawn.



A lovely straight part of Route 66 through the countryside where these huge webs, which contain large caterpillars, were draped among the trees.



Along the route near Kellogg Lake park in Carthage we found this piece of folk art depicting a crop dusting aeroplane.



At one time old Route 66 crossed the Spring River but when it was rerouted in the 40's, the old road was abandoned at the river.

We walked down to the Spring River, a perfect place for Glenys to cool her feet.

The small village of Red Oak on Route 66 was moved more than 20 miles when a famous sculptor and artist decided to recreate his boyhood village in a field on his farm. As the village fell into disrepair he bought buildings and rebuilt them on his farm. We visited and walked around, it was free to the public.
