After leaving Al West Nissan we headed to the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri School of Mines) to gather a couple of geocaches before departing for points southwest.

We spent about an hour and a half discovering the Stonehenge 1/2 scale installation which led us to another sculpture that was a male and female figure cut out of a big block of stone.  The cutouts and the cut out figures were an interesting installation.  Between the Stonehenge and the sculpture we crossed the street using an underground pedestrian tunnel on campus.

Then Joyce had another cache to find in the University Library.  This was easy and got us into a nice air conditioned space for a few minutes.  Both caches discovered!

From the library location, Joyce wanted to see if we could get a reservation in Lebanon, MO at the Munger Moss Motel which is world famous for the Route 66 traveler.  They had a room available at the cheapest price we’ve paid since the start of our journey.

Lebanon is only about 60 miles from Rolla.  So we took a more leisurely drive today.  Stopping to get caches and photograph history along the way.  We traveled through these locales:

Doolittle

Jerome (cache and photos at Stoney Dell Resort)
Hooker Cut (cache and photos of old route 66 roadway)
Devils Elbow (where we had BBQ for lunch in the Devils Elbow Bar & Grill and located a nearby cache.)
St. Robert (photos of Alpine Haus motel and Tiger Water Tank)
Waynesville (cache and photo of old stagecoach stop)

And finally arrived in Lebanon about 4:30 PM (CT) where we checked into the Munger Moss Motel and decided to rest up for a while–catching up on geocache logs and 66 blogs!

Dinner is still in the planning stage and we know there are two caches to find here at the Munger Moss Motel.  Later, of course….
