Day #12 - June 25, 2010

Blair, NE to Clinton, IA
520 Miles

Left Blair, NE this morning at 9:00 a.m. and drove east on Route 30 (Lincoln Highway). There were large stretches of open country interspersed with small towns along the way. I stopped in many of the towns and took a photo of what I felt was the most interesting architecture.

One of the bridges. There are several more bridge in Madison County, but they are difficult to access. I drove 3 miles each way on a dusty gravel road to see this one, so I felt that one bridge was plenty for the day.
