Some New News About an Old Road.
1. BUY-WAY-- This weekend, there will be lots of sales along the old Lincoln Highway from Ohio to Iowa as folks put out stuff in garage and yard ales. So, go for a drive and buy Lincoln stuff.
2. RIVER-TO-RIVER-- Also, this weekend, the Iowa Chapter of the Lincoln Highway Association will be having their first-ever trip across the state, going from the Mississippi to the Missouri River. I was hoping to go on this, but am still recovering from thumb surgery early in July. Maybe next year.
3. MIGHTY NARROW-- Captain Packrat, in his blog, wrote about an old stretch of the Lincoln Highway by Omaha, Nebraska. He exited West Dodge Street, US-6, at 180th and headed north about three-fourths of a mile to it. He described it as mighty narrow and smaller than most of today's side streets. He noticed they laid concrete along the sides to widen it.

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.
