Some news along the old Lincoln Highway.
1. Roadtrippin' in Iowa-- The Missouri Times News of Feb. 29 had an article "Lincoln Hwy Motor Tour Coming." The Iowa Lincoln Highway Association has announced a cruise August 8 to 10th this summer. It is called the "River to River Tour" going from the Mississippi to the Missouri rivers, a total of 330 miles.
Day One starts in Clinton with stops at DeWitt, Lowden, Clarence, Mt. Vernon, and Cedar Rapids where a night will be spent.
Day Two has stops at Youngville Cafe, Belle Plaine, Tama (guess what they'll see there), State Center (stop and smell the roses), Colo, Ames, and an overnight in Boone where a dinner will be held.
Day Three has stops at Jefferson, Carroll, Denison, Woodbine and concludes at the Hitchcock Nature Center at the infamous Honey Creek Cut. For more info, contact Jeff LaFollett at jefflaf@peoplepc.com or call 563-349-3047.
2. Alice Ramsay Documentary-- A documentary on Alice Ramsey, the first woman to drive across the US is being filmed. Go to http://www.aliceramsey.org/ for updates. An early bit of footage is available at You Tube or go to http://lincolnhighwayil.blogspot.com/.
3. Comfort Dogs at Northern Illinois University-- Today marks the one month anniversary of the horrible events that transpired at NIU. When the students returned to school, along with counselors, they also had about a dozen dogs on campus for a week. These dogs probably did more to ease the pain than anything else. Students have requested that they return today.
Keep on Down that Two Lane Lincoln Highway. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
