Guest oldsigns52 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi, I'm doing research for a filmm and I thought you might help me. Do you happen to know about smaller Louisiana route signs (for "smaller" roads) circa 1954? Does it look like this: http://home.earthlink.net/~marbach/akmfolder/louis.jpg Also, if you have images of speed limit signs (1954) that would be great. Thank you very much! -- Mark Bachman All the King's Men, Art Dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brownwho63 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 We've stayed in places long enough to cook our own food but have never actually done so because it's.....well, sort of a pain to haul the cookware, utensils, buy the food, prepare it, and then clean up afterwards. Much, much easier to just "eat out." I, too, have to be careful about an abundance of road food. Though often tempted by burgers and fries, fried chicken, chicken fried steak, hot wings, cheezy greasy Tex-Mex, pizza, medium rare beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, and nearly everything else that actually tastes good (if it tastes good, spit it out), you can still enjoy eating while on the road. Subway, for example, offers great fare at reasonable prices with very low fat content, especially their chicken and turkey (without cheese but with lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and oil). Skip desserts. Salads are always available but be sure to avoid the high- fat dressings. Have cereal and fruit with skim milk and juice for breakfast rather than bacon and eggs. A nutrition/power bar is a good alternative -- also a good snack. Always avoid buffets. Drink lots of iced tea or water. Am confident you're already aware of this but just wanted to throw it in as food for thought....Bliss --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "jenniferrt66" <jabremer66@a...> wrote: > > Thanks for the tip...normally I wouldn't have thought to cook my own > food on the road, but for health reasons I've had to restrict my diet > and "road food" is either going to be a thing of the past for me, or > eaten VERY sparingly, if at all.

Guest jenniferrt66 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I probably wouldn't cook on the road either (except someday if we do get a camper, that would be different). Thanks for those good suggestions, which I will keep in mind! Another thing I plan on doing when we travel is to find health food stores in the areas where we'll be. Some have freshly prepared meal items, salads, etc. The dietary restrictions I'm on rule out red meat (unless it's organic, but then in small amounts only), wheat, dairy, and sugar. I also need to avoid (as much as possible) certain chemicals in food (pesticides). So for the most part, foods need to be organic! It is challenging, but I'll manage. I'm not as upset about it as I was at first, and my health is more important. There's nothing I love more than a hamburger, fries and a REAL cherry coke! *sigh* I know there are times (esecially when dining out) when I'll have to eat conventionally grown food, and at home I still buy a few things that are conventional. Thanks for the advice!

Guest big_ugly_mich@yahoo.com Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 One thing I used to do as an old boy scout was this: I'd save some old number ten cans (from restaurants, schools and churches. Just ask) and coffee cans and use them as pots. When I was done, in the trash they went. I'm certainly no gourmet, but I eat my own cooking without fear. No one's ever complained about my cooking, may the Lord rest their souls. --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, big_ugly_mich@y... wrote: > I'd be concerned with the residue of petroleum products on my food. > > --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "jenniferrt66" > <jabremer66@a...> wrote: > > Have you ever tried this?

Guest big_ugly_mich@yahoo.com Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Have any of you taken trips into Canada and/or Mexico? I did once on a whim, and, even though it was 1981, got stopped and searched at the border going in. I'm sure that with the heightened awareness of terrorism, that's gonna get worse before it gets better, but I still want to take the Alaska Highway one day with the missus. She's thinking cruise, and I may give in just to see my first Aurora Borealis. Perhaps other continents offer other options for the road warrior. For instance, Asians and bicycles go together like peanut butter and jelly from what I've heard. I know as a fact from seeing film on television that Chinese tanks mashed Chinese bicycles into scrap during the Tienanmin Square protest in 1989. Most people thought that when a person was on his bike, Big Brother couldn't keep too close an eye on him or her, and that's what triggered that action.

Guest Russell S. Rein Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Mark, There is a true type font - US Highways - that allows you to make US numbered highway signs by combining the shield, a properly scaled "US" and the numbers of your choice. I believe it was created by Bruce Cridelbaugh.

I consider it to be a terrific resource for finding mom-and-pop restaurants with distinctive, regional food. It hasn't steered us wrong yet. I know that for Route 66, www.roadfood.com lists at least 10 places along the Mother Road, maybe more. We went to Jobe's Charburger restaurant in El Reno, OK, on its recommendation and had a fantastic meal there. Ditto for A Slice of Pie in Rolla, Mo., about a block from the old route.

Guest chris Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 A couple good reads, enjoy! . . . Chris, NJ Exit 7-A _____________________________________ Love Notes and Ghosts on a Lonely Road By CHRIS DIXON Published: February 20, 2004 The New York Times . . . Highway 50, a transcontinental road that, in the era of the interstate, stands largely forgotten. The 400-mile-long stretch from Carson City to the Great Basin National Park (one of America's least visited and most remote National Parks) has been nicknamed America's Loneliest Highway. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/20/automobiles/20LONE.html _____________________________________ US-50: THE LONELIEST ROAD Road Trip USA Running coast-to-coast through the heart of America on a 3,200-mile odyssey from sea to shining sea, US-50 passes through a dozen different states and four state capitals, as well as the nation?s capital, Washington, D.C. Along the route are some of the country?s most magnificent landscapes: the Appalachian, Rocky, and Sierra Nevada mountains, the endless farmlands of the Great Plains, and the desiccated deserts of Utah and Nevada. It follows the footsteps of pioneers along the Santa Fe Trail and the route of the Pony Express, and gives an uncannily consistent time line of national development. Heading west to east, you can travel back in history from the cutting-edge high tech of contemporary Silicon Valley, across the Wild West frontier of the mid-1800s, and through lands the likes of Daniel Boone and countless others pioneered in the 1700s, before arriving at the Atlantic Ocean near some of the oldest and best-preserved colonial-era landscapes in the USA. http://www.roadtripusa.com/us_50/index.html _____________________________________ NASCAR Fans, Get Up On The Pit Wagon!

Guest hwy550 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Teresco, The pictures I took were taken about four years ago during the 4-lane construction and some were taken a few months ago. It would be nice to have pictures of Hwy 44/550 when it was 2-laned. They would have value now that 44 no longer exist. I like the scenic view between mile markers 80 and 120. Millions of years ago that area was completely covered by water. Lake level marks are still visible on the terrain. It's even possible to find plant fossils up in the hills near the road. The pictures you took of 550 came out pretty good. Thanks for the links. --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, Jim Teresco <terescoj@t...> wrote: > > I made a few trips on US 550 in the last year and a half or so, mostly > to get to southeastern Utah and southern Colorado from Albuquerque. > It's a very scenic ride, and the road is good quality.

Guest Ken Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Greetings Frank and Jennifer, If I'm not mistaken, Yahoo has recently done away with allowing the viewing of the full size version to visitors at a Yahoo photo album. (Possibly the effort to conserve MB space within the groups). I don't think that the full size version is even accessable to the creator of the photo album anymore. The only way to get that map into more detail, would be to rescan it at a higher resolution and possible divide the map into two halves.
