A few more recent reports about the 90th Anniversary US Army Transcontinental Convoy trip across the US.
The June 22nd Ogden (Utah) Reporter said the convoy passed through.
The June 24th Little Chicago Review (Little Chicago?) reports that the "Black and Orange Lincoln Highway cabins" will be dedicated July 1st, when the convoy passes through. There will also be a stop at Fort Bridger before the convoy continues on to Evanston, Wyoming.
The June 21st Chicago Daily Herald reports that the convoy, consisting primarily of WW II and later vehicles had one WW I one that broke down about ten times a day. There was also to be a WW II-style Bob Hope USO show with people playing Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, George Patton, and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The convoy was to visit Wheaton, Aurora, Geneva, and spend the night in Rochelle, Illinois.

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.
