I came across a good article by highway historian Richard F. Weingoff titles "Zero Milestone Washington DC." This includes pretty much anything you want to know about the monument, including an impressive picture gallery showing all four sides as well as a photo of President Warren G. Harding at the dedication as well as a song "Hail! Hail! The Caravan!" written for the occasion. A Shrine Cravan drove 3,300 miles from San Francisco to be at the ceremony.
There are also picturesof the dedication of the Tennessee Zero Mile Marker and the November 17, 1923 Pacific Milestone dedication of the western terminus of the Lee Highway. Plus, the Memphis, Tn, milemarker.
Weingoff includes details on both convoys leaving from the marker.

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.
