The Historic US 6 Iowa Association's annual River to River Retro Road Trip is set for September 13-15, 2018 beginning in Davenport, Iowa and ending in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
This year's event promises fun stops, sights to see, car shows, history to take in, wonderful food, and beautiful Iowa landscapes along Iowa's winding Route 6.
The popular cruise was started in 2011 by former Iowa Historic Route 6 Tourist Association executive director Dave Darby in response to Fourth Wall Films' desire to film classic cars cruising the historic 2-lane highway for their documentary River to River: Iowa's Forgotten Highway 6. Each year the cruise has grown and added more fun activies and stops in small-town America during the three-day cruise.
For details about the cruise visit US Route 6 Iowa's Facebook page.
