Phil that is too bad, the display is fantastic. Yes the missouri river flood last year would have surrounded that area. Maybe another time......

yesterday 30 was a nightmare... last day of RAGBRAI(registers annual bicycle ride across Iowa) ended in clinton.
all of the support vehicles came in on 30 and invaded the town... now we know how they feel when we show up LOL!!! at least we don't show up in team jerseys and bicycle shorts!!! Sean said that the riverfront was still packed last night when he got off work!!

I know a few folks that have done Ragbrai, they describe it as a week long party on two wheels.......

Humm I'm on Rte 30 from time to time between Philly to Gettysburg PA and have never seen the "L" signs. Guess I'll start looking

Next weekend we are going to investigate the "Old Lincoln Higway" on the western edge of Omaha, NE. Good stuff here, keep it going....

Cool project.

I grew up not far from US30 in the south suburbs of Chicago.

In fact - the "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY" ads I heard on the radio were for US30 drag strip, that of course closed down before I was old enough to run on it.

Next time I'm at home I'll have to remember to shoot some pictures.

Here is a little about Jan Gabriel and the Sunday Sunday Sunday ads

Bob, according to what I have, NYC Times Square was the eastern terminus and US 30 and goes into Jersey. Arrowhead is maybe close to this??
