Dear folks, The blog has been updated to now cover from Truckee to Ruth. The next installments will be dedicated to the most interesting portion of the LHW, at least to me, that section between Ely and Salt Lake City, where the road tried desperately to avoid the salt flats.

Trees, rocks - I've done it all. Once I lost the copter and then when I sent the plane out to find it (live video feed from the plane) I lost the plane too! I had a friend fly over in his full size helicopter and it was found quickly. and will scare you. Nonetheless these little goodies are a great way to get the shots you need. Grover -

Dave, It is great way to get a fresh perspective. I normally use the plane as seen here: http://www.electricflights.com/hawkeyemainpage.html Sometimes I use a quadcopter - Google "quadcopter" or "Gaui" which takes a bit of learning. Grover -

Fellow Lincoln Highway enthusiasts, Chapter Seven - Middlegate Station is now up on the blog sierratraveler.wordpress.com with information about all the "gates" in the area. Grover People have asked about how I managed to get the aerial photos. I carry with me a remote control airplane and/or helicopter with a Canon A480 camera mounted on it. Using a piece of software called CHDK I set the camera to take a photo every few seconds and then I pick the "keepers" from the hundreds of shots obtained. -

This was a most interesting adventure. I'll be going back in the spring to build on photographic portfolio. I'm glad you are liking it thus far Next chapter: Reno's 4th Street. Grover -
Dear Members, I just completed a 1500 mile roundtrip exploring and photographing the remains of the 1913 LHW in Nevada and western Utah. You'd find the first two chapters here: LHW in Basin and Range It was a great adventure, taking my two-wheel-drive van in places it was never meant to go. Please subscribe to the blog and I hope you enjoy it. Grover
