The Lincoln Highway home

Instead of Interstate 80, we took an alternate route on the way home from Rowe. We traveled on the Lincoln Highway/US Highway 30, one of the original transcontinental automobile routes.
You can read about the highway here.
Once again, my suspicions were confirmed that scenery becomes more interesting, the pace a little slower, and life more civilized once one is two miles away from an interstate highway. Sorry, President Eisenhower.
I saw the following sign in front of a store in a small Nebraska town: "Today's special: Buy two items, pay for both".
Between Cheyenne and Laramie, the snow began.

  1. As Elaine just reminded me, this is the roller-coaster we drove on in Pennsylvania. A genuine thrill ride.

  2. I've been on it in Pennsylvania and Ohio, too. I'll take a roller-coaster over semi-truck traffic any day, thank you.
