Wake Up With Jim

It is often referenced as one of the states top beauty spots. But Maramec Spring Park is also the site of an interesting ghost town. The park is 1,860 acres of pristine forest, historic sites and two fascinating museums. As a bonus, it is just a few miles off historic Route 66.

On this mornings adventure America's storyteller author Jim Hinckley shares the story of this delightful Missouri gem. And, of course, he does what he does best - tell people where to go.

There are also important program updates, another clue in the Route 66 contest, and a bit of music from the Road Crew. 

Today's program is sponsored in part by the Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri. This is no mere motel. It is the essence of the Route 66 experience made manifest.
