  1. Sorry I'm so late to reply.  First Day Cover collectors vary, but some would certainly value a cover signed by the artist higher than a blank cover.  Just like comics, sports memorabilia, etc.

  2. I haven't managed to drive the routes end-to-end, so my solution has been to construct a virtual roadtrip. I research the road and sites along the way from the perspective of the year 1962, just before the interstates took over. Then, I post the results organized in the conceit of each day's "drive" at my website Roadtrip-'62 . So far, I've completed US-23 and the longest route, US-6.

  3. I've managed to drive all of US-6 east from Joliet, IL, and all of old US-6 in California. I've even driven some isolated locations between, including most of Colorado. I knew I would never get to the whole route, so I created a "virtual" roadtrip, writing about what I might have seen in the year 1962. I just completed it on my website and it took me 36 virtual days to drive the entire route: there's a lot to stop and see!

  4. Hope these instructions work for you; they did for me.

    1. On the map page that shows your lines, click the small "link" button near the top left of the map (a link picture).

    2. When that opens a dialog box, highlight and copy the text in the "Paste HTML to embed in website" box.

    3. Add that code to the appropriate place in your own web page.
