That's on Highway M, just a bit South of Pickett, Wisconsin.

Nice little ride and nice photo! My photo was taken June 20th, this year.

224 Highway Gas Station near Lexington MO

24 was a main east west road before I 70 was built. The old road is now 224 a favorite of local riders as it parallels the Missouri River. Here is an old gas station on the road. I can also remember as a small child seeing Burma Shave signs on this road. That would have been in the late 50's or early 60's.

Old station on the Lincoln Highway. The first of the intercontinental highways. Preserved as a road side attraction. Notice the narrow old style tires.

Former storage building:

..and maybe this is why car companies went under. This was a large fitness center with saunas, racquetball courts, hot tubs, weight rooms, etc.. at a car dealership.
