May 12, 2008: Former IA 99 was signed as County Road 99 through the rest of the 2000s but in the past few years changed to X99 to match style.
I don’t even know where the county would have acquired square shields like this.
The trip in May with this picture was meant to travel all of IA 70 and old 99. I accomplished the former, and saw the Toolesboro Indian Mounds, but the southernmost part of 99 was already suffering from flooding that would become much worse within weeks. I drove through Oakville without a second thought; now I wish I had taken pictures.
