"DONNER LAKE 2005" wrote in message oups.com... DONNER LAKE TAHOE 2005 TRUCKEE,CA PHOTOS http://community.webshots.com/user/donnerlake2005 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. :-) -- Jim in NC |

DONNER LAKE TAHOE 2005 TRUCKEE,CA PHOTOS http://community.webshots.com/user/donnerlake2005 http://image30.webshots.com/31/6/23/...8BhLxlP_ph.jpg 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. |

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. nate |

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

I seem to remember hearing the Lincoln Highway turned north to end in NYC (not certain about this) Stephen B NYC |

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. |
