Today we drive to DeKalb, Illinois, for NIU's Homecoming. Illinois Route 38 goes by within a few hundred yards of Huskie Stadium where the game takes place. Our hotel is also on the Lincoln Highway.
After the game, we will be going to Lord Stanley's in downtown DeKalb which is also on the Lincoln Highway. We will be seeing the DeKalb Footstompers performing their annual homecoming show, something they've been doing since Homecoming 1973.
So, we'll be doing our Lincoln Crawl today. Sadly, when we were students at Northern from 1969 to 1973, Lincoln Highway was just another road to us. We had no idea as to its significance.

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.
