Bob_Church 7 #3 July 25, 2018 IagoIt's been many years since I was in Taylorville, but I would say stay here. https://www.marketstreetinn.com/inn.html But watch out for Joe. He's got the gift of gab and you might end up on the porch talking and miss the whole boogie. It looks nice but since this is a boogie a room is just someplace I can crash then have a shower when I get up. A couple hundred a night for stuff that seems nice, but I'll never use, is a little steep for what I need. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a few trucker motels in Taylorville, and a chain place (Days Inn, maybe) we nicknamed the 'red eye.'. A couple of Indians ran it and the place always smelled like curry. Springfield would be your next choice, about 30 minutes. My primary demand is no bedbugs. And I want A/C. After that I'm pretty flexible. I'm wondering about the Gaslight Motel. It's close enough to walk to the dz (though maybe not with gear). Anyone familar with it, or have any other recommendations. I'm hoping to arrive late Thursday, check out of the motel Sunday morning and head back to Ohio late that day or night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob_Church 7 #7 August 19, 2018 I'm afraid I got a call from home and had to leave early but it was great to meet everyone. As the man said "I'll Be Back!" Bob Church Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
