Marshalltown to Clinton IA, June 16
"...Leaving Cedar Rapids, I found the roads still muddy, and, as the country is of rolling character, I sought the railroad, but I found the bed so strewn with sharp rocks that I returned to the wagon road....Darkness overtook me before I reached Clinton, and, being afraid of smashing into something. I walked the last few miles into that place, arriving at 9 p.m., after having covered 85 miles."
Waypoint Today: Wyman rode into Clinton along what is now US30, Lincoln Highway. The Wyman Memorial Plaques for both the 617.1 Clinton and 618.1 Mississippi Bridge Crossing waypoints are co-located at this grand display.
