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.

2019 MVPA Lincoln Highway Convoy (TMC19)
August 10 to September 14, 2019, from York. Pennsylvania, to San Francisco, California. This is the second MVPA convoy to commemorate the Lincoln Highway.
MVPA stands for Military Vehicle Preservation Association.
Thursday, August 22, they were in Clinton, Iowa, where we saw part of it driving on the Lincoln Highway. We're thinking it was probably the rear of the convoy as we drove back and didn't see anymore of them.
On Monday, August 26, they were in Woodbine, Iowa, where the main street was blocked off and all the vehicles lines up.
Fourteen hours ago, there was a post on their site from Big Springs, Nebraska.
"Today we passed the Phelps Hotel in Big Springs, NE. It was built in 1885. This is a page from the guest register signed by Lt.Col. D.D. Eisenhower (& wife) on Aug. 6. 1919. This was while he was on convoy! Of any convoy members got a picture of the hotel on our way by, please post it! Thank you."
A photo of the page accompanies the post.
Very Interesting. --RoadEis
