Lincoln Highway Markers, Eureka,Nevada, 2022.“The Lincoln Highway is one of the earliest transcontinental highway routes for automobiles across the United States of America. Conceived in 1912 by Indiana entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher, and formally dedicated October 31, 1913, the Lincoln Highway ran coast-to-coast from Times Square in New York City west to Lincoln Park in San Francisco, originally through 13 states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California.” Wikipedia.Much of the Lincoln Highway became U.S. 50. The stretch across Nevada has the sobriquet “the loneliest road.” It is difficult to imagine what driving across this stretch of Nevada must have been like prior to World War II, or even as late as the 1950s. It is many hundreds of km across almost uninhabited territory with few services even in 2020. The driver is out of cell phone coverage, at least for T-Mobile, for part of the way. -- source link
