Lincoln Highway Update-- Part 1: Clinton, Iowa

This past February, Liz and I drove the Lincoln Highway back in Clinton, Iowa, and Fulton, Illinois, and from Dixon to DeKalb in Illinois.

Some things we saw:

*** Our first interpretive gazebo in Fulton, located a block east of the windmull. Construction on the new windmill museum is well underway.

*** J & D Steakhouse is still serving those great, reasonably-priced meals in Clinton.

*** The Frontier Inn Best Western is a good place to stay on Lincoln Highway in Clinton. Reasonable prices and one fantastic morning breakfast included. Also, an indoor pool and hot tub that was closed when we were there.  Plus, they have a bar on the premises.

*** Lots of much-needed urban renewal going on along the Lincoln Highway south of downtown Clinton, right after you pass Smith Brothers.

*** On the way back, picked up the Lincoln Highway in Dixon, Illinois. You can drive I-88 from the Quad Cities for free. After Dixon, it costs money as it becomes a tollway. And, if you don't have a transponder you pay double.

However, you can continue on I-88 after it becomes a tollway west of Dixon and still won't have to pay if you get off at Dixon.

More Lincoln to Come. --RoadDog
