Shortly before reaching Duncan, I passed a parked pickup truck with a man standing beside it and pointing toward a side road. I waved but continued on the pre-programmed route. When I pulled into town and parked, a lady approached, to photograph the car and asked, "Are they behind you?" After I learned that she was asking about "the Lincoln Highway cars" I told her some were behind me but most were ahead. I listened in disbelief as she told me that I was the first marked car she had seen. A few more cars, including the previously mentioned Model A did come into town while I was there but none stopped.

As I walked back towards my car, the fellow I had passed along the road pulled in and approached me. Over the next few minutes I learned that he was responsible for the big 'L' banners on the trees and other markings and had really been looking forward to Duncan being visited by a bunch of fellow Lincoln Highway fans. His disappointment and frustration were obvious and understandable. His name was Mark Nyffeler. I stopped by the second LH marker in Duncan (this one with medallion) then followed Mark down the dirt road. I visited this bridge, which carried the LH between 1913 and 1928, in 2009 just a couple of months before the markers were placed in the little parklike area. When Paul Schubert saw us heading down the dirt road, he decided to follow so at least Mark had an audience of two for this part of his mini-tour. The marker might be readable here and I did get a shot of Paul & Mark.
