614.1 Ogden RON Memorial

Denison to Ogden IA, June 14

"...I started from Denison at 8 a.m., taking to the railroad. After going five miles the roadbed became so bad that I could not ride, and I sought the highway....My coaster brake, which had begun to give me trouble the day before, became on this day a coaster broke...I arrived at a small place called Ogden after covering 76 miles. "

Waypoint Today:  Wyman rode into Ogden along the road that would become the Lincoln Highway.  He sought a meal and lodging, likely at the Ogden Hotel on Walnut street.  The next morning he took his motorcycle to the blacksmith shop to get his rear axle repaired. The shop was directly across from where the City Hall is now located.
