man from Utah

Hi the Midland trail in Nevada was part a coast to coast highway that follow the Lincoln Highway from Salt Lake City to Ely, Nv and then went south west to Big Pine California Via Tonopah, Nv. Layed out by A L Westgaurd before the Lincoln Highway and is perhaps the only road, that Carl Fisher was on in Nevada. There is a 1916 Guide published by The Midland Trail log Book Company. This guide included West Virginia and St Louis Missouri. This guidle was unusal as it list both westbound and east bound. Many other guides like the Lincoln Highway list only the east to west.

The fisherpass Monument Committeee would like take this time to let all know that mounument for Carl Fisher is to be done in Utah on top of Johnson-Fisherpass. Completion is for around mid Sept2009 and it has took 5 yrs in the making but since Carl fisher made the road that cut off 50 miles of the worst road conditions of the Lincoln Highway we formed the Fisher Pass Monument committee and want to see a monument on top of the mountain pass. check more on progress at fisherpass.com
