ILHA Tour ‘08 Begins as participants assemble in Clinton. Passport stop #1.	The Lyons-Fulton Bridge is visible as the tour departs Clinton.	The red cars converge as the tour begins.	On to DeWitt where refreshments and passport stamps were available at Lincoln Park.
The 1921 Pony Truss Bridge was ready for visitors on the August 8 tour.	Tour members fan out to examine the bridge up close. It has been cared for since 1998 by the Clinton County Conservation Board along with assistance from Iowa Lincoln Highway Association members.	Grass grows on the old section near Lowden.	Another old Lincoln Highway Bridge, one of several observed as the tour headed west.
Painted poles, flags and town banners, such as this one in Wheatland, greeted the tour and guided the way.	Polka music and German pastries welcomed visitors in downtown Lowden.	Lowden is the crossroads for the Lincoln and Hoover highways as well as home to a lovely park, the historic Lincoln Hotel and the Lowden Historical Society Museum.	This abandoned section was removed from use in 1956 when the new 2-lane section was built between Calamus and Clarence.
An antique tour vehicle leads the procession into the Clarence park - lunch stop for Day 1 of the tour.
