Lincoln Highway News

A week ago I reported on Denny’s Gibson’s blog but if you didn’t bother visiting it, go to dennygibson.com/lhwest09/ now and spend a half hour seeing, feeling, and tasting a trip along the Lincoln Highway westward from Illinois. Make sure you click his photos to see them bigger; here are a few.

A real heartbreaker, the Covered Wagon attraction near Kearney, Nebraska. Someone was working on the building last year, with plans to restore the wagon and oxen, but now they look worse than ever.

Here’s a great old road segment west of Medicine Bow, Wyoming. A truck used the road while Denny was there.

The pull-off has been paved and ground was recently broken for the Fisher Pass monument south of Grantsville, Utah.
