old Lincoln highway 40

we decided to be adventurous and travel the old Lincoln highway..most of it was pot holes and cracked pavement,sand drifts and rocks! we had to travel around 25-30 mpr ,we were hoping to make it through and we did!

to our right was the interstate.

 

On July 1, 1913, a group of automobile enthusiasts and industry officials established the Lincoln Highway Association (LHA) "to procure the establishment of a continuous improved highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific, open to lawful traffic of all description without toll charges." In its time, the Lincoln Highway would become the Nation's premier highway, as well known as U.S. 66 was to be in its day and as well known as I-80 and I-95 are today.
