Nice website. I like the slideshow idea. Could you make it so all the pics
show up at the same size? (bigger size you had for some of them) Some were
rather small.

Sure is pretty. This Ohio boy, displaced to NC, sure misses the snow. :-)

used to be the only road over the pass - I drove this highway over
Donner Summit to go to the 60 Olympics at Squaw, along with tens of
thousands of others. Parking was on the Squaw meadow, protected from
damage by the Army spraying water on layers of straw every night until a
frozen layer was constructed above the meadow.

This is a piece of the Lincoln Highway - the first trans-continental
highway. Parts of it (like photo) are still in daily use.

Parts of it in Cedar Rapids, IA are still in daily use as well. Mt.
Vernon Road on the SE side follow the original route for a bit, with
an old bridge preserved on the east edge of town just off the current
street. They will be erecting a nice sign this summer for it, to
complement the hundreds of other signs that dot the road as it winds
cross country. I've actually had fun doing a RT 66 tour between CR
and Ames where I went to school. Suprising how much of the old
highway is still around once you get off the beaten path.

Actually, much of the Lincoln Highway is still in use under one name or
another. It started in Times Square in NYC and follows US1 in New
Jersey, then, in Pennsylvania and through most of the country it is
US30, then it becomes US530, then US40 in Utah, US50 in Nevada, and back
to US40 in California, ending in SF. Old highways never die, they just
lose their names.

US1 runs pretty much true south-east between NYC and Philadelphia.
I seem to remember hearing the Lincoln Highway turned north to end in NYC
(not certain about this)

Doesn't it follow I-80 in Wyoming? There is a statue of Lincoln on I-80 west
of Cheyenne. I thought the "Lincoln Highway" was the reason.

Yes, but the Lincoln Hwy, too, ran southerly out of NYC until it reached
New Jersey, and then turned west. US 1 was, in fact, the beginning
section of the Lincoln Hwy, US1's N-S path notwithstanding.

Why to you demean US1? It was the major route along the east coast until
the interstate highway system took over.
