Military Convoy

The original military vehicle motor convoy was in 1919. This group is crossing the U.S. and here are on old highway 30. Traveling at an average of 35 miles per hour the trip is about 28 days. There was an overnight stay here in J-Town. They arrived in town about 6:30. About 1 1/2 hours later than planned. It was beastly hot and of course no air conditioning in the vehicles. (And crank windows that modern kids don't know about.) I visited with a couple ladies from Wisconsin that joined a couple days ago and weren't sure how long they would keep going. Here they are getting updated on what was going on and what they were to do next. I was only there briefly as on the way to a baseball game. Calvin's team lost a heartbreaker.
