Carthage, MO and Route 66

Last February, at a Newmar Kountry Klub luncheon in the Rio Grande Valley, we were the lucky winners of a door prize donated by the owner of CoachLight RV Park. We won a free week's stay at the RV Park, plus 2 breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for 2 at local restaurants. So we were looking forward to enjoying several meals and a free week in Carthage while we explored the area.

We visited the Carthage Chamber of Commerce to get some tourist maps. Among them was a guide to following Route 66 through the Carthage/Joplin area.
