Optional ToursBoth optional tours can add much to your 15th annual Lincoln Highway Association conference experience. Don’t miss these opportunities — and there is no charge for them. Pre-conference auto tour
Because the Colorado Loop encloses much of the landscape featured in James Michener’s epic novel Centennial, the tour will also visit many of the sites featured in that work. In Michener’s terms, the tour will travel through the heart of the Venneford Ranch along the Skimmerhorn Cattle Trail. It will cross Beaver Creek and pass the Twin Pillars on the way to Hans “Potato” Brumbaugh’s farm and the town of Centennial. Also included in the tour will be sites in Cheyenne and scattered throughout the Pawnee National Grasslands between Pine Bluffs and Fort Morgan. The tour will also visit other interesting places, including the highest point in Nebraska. Randy worked as a historic trails consultant for Michener on the Centennial project so you have a unique opportunity to share his experiences with him. Expect to arrive in Fort Morgan early Sunday evening. Post-conference auto tour
Lee Whiteley will have specific rendezvous information for you at the conference. He plans to lead this interesting drive across Loop roads, many as they were in 1913, through the town sites of Hoyt and Comanche before delivering you to Bennett. You can expect to reach Bennett late Friday afternoon. Bennett is located on Interstate 70 at exit 304, just a few miles east of metropolitan Denver. |
