Friends of the Mother Road, has repainted the Vernelle's Motel sign along
old Route 66 west of Rolla,
Mo. The sign had faded badly from weathering, but now it has a vibrant
new coat of red, yellow and white paint. It was a tiring and scary job
to be working from a bucket lift 30 feet in the air. But the 67-year-old
owner was thrilled, and hopefully the more eye-catching sign will bring
him some more business. (Info courtesy Ron Warnick

Many thanks to Ron Warnick from the Friends
of the Mother Road preservation organization for this update and work
towards preserving Route 66 landmarks.
