Today's journal is rather sparse since the goals were visiting an uncle
and getting in position for tomorrow's cruise.
Looks like I was wrong about posting more preludes. Time constraints had
me on expressways today, but I made a couple of short detours to visit
familiar places. The day even ended at a familiar place.
The annual Jefferson Highway Association Conference moves around the
calendar. The last one I attended was in April 2024. The 2025 conference,
which I missed, was in June. The next one is scheduled for September
20-23, 2026 in Joplin, Missouri. Registration is not yet open, and a host
hotel has not been announced, but I have my room reserved. Wanting to stay
at the historic Boots Court in nearby Carthage, I booked a room nearly a
year in advance. I'm pretty sure that's a personal record.
The September date was selected to tie in with the Route 66 Association of
Missouri. Parts of the pre-conference sociability run or the conference or
both will somehow be coordinated with them. I have a feeling I'll be
posting another prelude or two before this actually goes down.
