This is the description of this destination from the H.O.G. official guide for the 50 Rides, One Nation challenge (and is NOT the route planned from the dealership for this ride):

Indiana Lincoln Highway
Northern Indiana, from Monroeville to Dyer | 169 miles

More than a century ago, mass production of affordable automobiles and an increasingly mobile society brought about the need for better roadways. The Lincoln Highway was developed to meet this need, becoming America’s first named coast-to-coast automobile road in 1913.

Named in honor of the 16th president, the highway is still in existence, although it has undergone various realignments over the years. Our route through Indiana follows the highway’s 1928-1930 final course, giving you a chance to experience living history along its rural and urban paths.

Checkpoint location:
Giant Egg statue: located in a bank parking lot at 202 W. Main St., Mentone, Indiana, a few miles south of Lincoln Highway, this 10-foot tall concrete statue celebrates the city as the “Egg Basket of the Midwest.”
