The Lincoln Highway was the first recognized transcontinental highway and much of the old route across Illinois still exists. The wife & I took a little trip along the Lincoln Hwy in Sept 2009, from DeKalb IL to Clinton Iowa and I took a few pictures along the way. I will add some photos from different dates to illustrate the route.
I doubt if many of us today could even beging to imagine traveling across the country in open air cars like this one. The original Lincoln Hwy roads were narrow and paved only with gravel and some times only dirt. Traveling just a short portion today from DeKalb IL to Clinton IA can be made in a few hours but I'm sure its a vastly different trip than was made in the early days.
The cars today are faster but the areas surrounding the route are more populated. Their are still rural stretches but it seems like you no sooner leave one city and youre entering another along the path. The addition of speed limits and stop lights over the years make for a lot of speeding up and slowing down.
I wouldnt say the trip in the old days was more relaxful or less stressful. Roads were not very good, the baron stretches were truly baron, they had fewer gas stations and places to stop and they had to deal more so with the weather and elements than we do today. However, I can only think that when the weather was good, it would have been a slow but steadier trip and that would be nearly impossible to recaptior today.
