Guest drivewdave@aol.com Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 curvy roads are lots of fun, thanks for mentioning that Kip it's saturday afternoon, the ChevronTexaco Metropolitan Opera broadcast is on the air. Just wondering if any roadies like to tune that in while motoring or at home, it's the longest continuous sponsorship in broadcasting history since 1939 and Chevron pulls the plug after this season. That's the way to do it, drive your old car down the old road and tune in The Met just like people have done for decades. It makes me want to go. not quite so cranky perhaps, dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roadmaven Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Season's Greetings all! Jennifer & I spent Christmas afternoon taking a quick road trip on ye old National Road/US 40/Route 40/Old National Trails Highway...or as we simply call it here: 40. We turned it into a nice little 70 mile venture from Indianapolis to Terre Haute. It was quite a picturesque trip, as central Indiana received a nice 7" layer of snow overnight. Since this list is about roads and the various sights alongside them, I want to encourage everyone to submit to the list some of your best road pics. To accomplish this, simply go to our website at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AMERICAN_ROAD/ From there, you can post them in the Files section or the Photos section. I'll get the ball rolling by posting in the Photos section a file called Tulip Trestle. This thing is a well-kept secret even here in Indiana. Tulip Trestle is a 2,295 foot, 157 foot tall structure that rolls through a valley in the hills about 30 miles southwest of Bloomington, IN. It took a little over a year to assemble the 2,856 tons of steel, which was completed in December 1906. It is owned by the Indiana Railroad company and is still in use. Unless you witness this beast in person, you can't totally appreciate what an awesome structure this is. But what's even better about seeing it is the twisty, hilly 2-laners you have to take to see it! Remember, you have to go to the Yahoo Groups website to view. Enjoy!

Guest brownwho63 Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I gotta throw in my $.02 worth concerning American rides that have been bery, bery good to me. 1987 Monte Carlo SS 305 c.i. V8 -- Bought used in '95 with 56K miles. I was second owner and just sold it last year with an additional 100K miles added. No problems, sweet car. 1984 Buick LeSabre 305 c.i. V8 -- Bought new and sold 11 years later with 214K on the clock. No major problems. 1979 Olds Cutlass V6 -- Bought new and sold 14 years later with 154K. Not a great engine but it just kept truckin' along. 1972 Olds Cutlass 350 c.i. V8 -- Bought new then given to our son 7 years later. He sold it 5 years later with 175K racked up. Great engine! Nothing else we ever bought stacked up to these cars (with the exception of our cherished '77 Monte currently setting in the garage with 25K miles added to the 35K it had when we found it in '92), including a beautiful '55 Chevy hardtop bought in '62 with only 25K on the clock. The 265 c.i. V8, Chevy's first, was terrible -- at least the one we had was. Sold the car about 7 years later for $350. I have since regretted that many, many times.

Guest Bob Reynolds Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Well, here?¦s the write up from November?¦s day trip in Kentucky. The same situation applies as last time. The photos are in the ?§BabyBoomerBob?? folder. CRUISIN?¦ THE BLUEGRASS Back in November I took a weekend to go visit with my good friend Kevin Redden in Maysville, Kentucky. Susan didn?¦t make this one with me so it was something of a ?§boys?¦ weekend out???? Kevin lives on Lexington Pike, a road that winds gracefully through an older residential neighborhood, down the Ohio River bluffs to downtown Maysville. It?¦s almost certainly an older alignment of US 62-68, but considering the name the locals give it, it?¦s very likely much older than the US highway system. They call it the Buffalo Trace. We headed out Saturday morning toward Paris, checking out old alignments of US 68 as we went. The first stop was Washington, KY <Washington01-05>. I think this is the oldest town in the state. It was founded in 1786 (just 10 years after Fort Boonesborough) by local pioneer Simon Kenton. Since the main highway passes it by, there is only local and tourist traffic easing through town. We parked on the side of Main Street and walked around, shooting pictures and enjoying the early morning solitude. Kevin pointed out several old metal water pumps <Washington02> and the oldest post office west of the Alleghenies <Washington04>. I sighed as I stood in front of the site of the Broderick Tavern, an early 19th century tavern and inn that had burned a couple of years ago. Kevin, Susan and I ate there once, and it was there that I first had the local dish known as hot brown. You take toast, add white gravy, ham, and turkey, then cover with melted cheddar cheese. Little did I know then that before the day was over, I?¦d have hot brown like I?¦d never had it before??. A new foundation was already in place, so something is going to be built on the site. Luckily, knowing Washington, it won?¦t be a McDonald?¦s?? The last thing I did in Washington was to take pictures of the original split between US 62 and 68 <Washington 06>, then a shot down old 62 to the present split <Washington 07>. In the latter picture, 68 goes left and right, and 62 goes right and straight ahead. We proceeded down US 68, making the occasional detour to check out old alignments until we came to Blue Licks, where we stopped to take pictures of the old Licking River bridge (BlueLick01, 02> We had hoped to get breakfast at Bridget?¦s Kitchen in Millersburg, but when we got there the place had gone under?? We paused long enough to take a picture of the stump of the old road through town and a railroad bridge over Hinkston Creek. On to Paris and breakfast. There?¦s really only one place in Paris to eat for us and that?¦s Louie?¦s. It?¦s kind of out of the way, which means not many tourists show up there. Nice and quiet with lots of horse racing atmosphere <Louie?¦s01-03>. We set out south on KY 627 driving through gently rolling horse country. It was my intention to follow former US 227 (Now KY 627 and 388) to Richmond, then up US 25 to Clay?¦s Ferry. The best laid schemes a?¦ mice and men?K Our next stop was Fort Boonesborough State Park. We wanted to see the original site, plus the replica of the fort, so we followed the signs directing us onto a smaller road down to the main part of the park. I winced as we passed the campground. Susan and I had a rough time camping here 20 some odd years ago. All the good spots were in the RV site. Tent campers (like us) had to settle for mud flats near the river, with about 3 inches of mud covering the bedrock. No place to drive stakes?? How we managed to keep our tent up I can?¦t recall. Kevin and I strolled around the original site of the fort <Boonesborough01> for a while, then went on down the road looking for the replica. After driving a while, we figured it was back on KY 627, so we headed back, after promising to explore this road next time. It seemed like a pretty neat drive. We soon found the replica <Boonesborough02> and spent half an hour or so checking it out. Nice and educational for the kids, but nothing terribly spectacular. So off we headed south, looking for KY 388. But when we reached the I-75 interchange I realized I?¦d missed the turn?? So we went on to US 25, then drove south to Richmond, .figuring to find the southern end of 388 there. No such luck?? I decided to forego 388 and head back to Clay?¦s Ferry. We found the bypass south of town and were heading north when I spotted a sign ?§TO 388?? pointing to the right. Now my curiosity was up, so I followed the road to its intersection with 388. Back to Richmond we went, discovering the southern end of 388 wasn?¦t signed. Oh well. So we returned to the bypass and followed the sign to 388, heading north this time?? I was determined to drive 388 no matter how many pieces I took it in?? The further north we drove the more things started looking familiar. Well, sure enough when we passed the Ft. Boonesborough campground, I realized we were back where we had started from?? Had we not turned around to find the replica fort we would have wound up in Richmond the way I had planned?? We had a good laugh over that one ?? By this time Kevin and I were looking for a place to get lunch. There was a sign advertising a place on the Kentucky River called ?§Halls on the River??, so we picked up KY 418 and stopped for lunch <Halls>. The restaurant is on the site of Holder?¦s Tavern, an old inn established in 1783. We sat down and I ordered hot brown. Well, when it came, my eyes bugged out! The portion was enormous! And the melted cheddar didn?¦t just cover the meat, it covered the entire plate! I gave part of it to Kevin, but still ate so much I didn?¦t want dessert?? I?¦m the kind of guy who doesn?¦t believe there?¦s any such thing as ?§too much cheese??. But that day I *did* have ?§enough???? All plans to approach Clay?¦s Ferry from the south were out the window now, so we continued on KY 418 in the direction of Lexington (where the bourbon is strong, the horses are good looking, and all the basketball players are above average??).At Athens we headed south on KY 1973 (Note: Kentucky highways with four digit numbers are secondary roads). We soon came to US 25 and headed south to the Clay?¦s Ferry Bridge. The history of this bridge is interesting. It began as a two lane bridge for US 25-421 in 1946. Over the years it has been expanded to its present six lanes and its incorporation into I-75. (For more information and some professional quality photos check out http://www.kentuckyroads.com/images/claysferry/ ). It?¦s an impressive structure leaping the gorge of the Kentucky River. However?K. Down in the gorge where nobody crossing on the interstate can see, there?¦s a little gem. The pre-1946 bridge. 1869 vintage. One lane. Wrought iron. In great shape! And it was *this* bridge I?¦d come to see <Clay?¦s Ferry 01, 02>. We stopped by the remains of a defunct honky tonk and I scrambled down to the river bank for a photo op. As I drove across the bridge, the tires singing on the metal grate beneath, I tried to imagine what it was like when this was the main bridge between Lexington and points south. There must have been a major bottleneck here. This stretch of 25 was part of the eastern trunk of the Dixie Highway back then, so the traffic couldn?¦t have been insignificant. I turned around at the southern end of the old road (now KY 2328) and drove back across the old bridge and back to KY 1973, heading north to Paris Pike. We passed several nice examples of the old stone walls this region is famous for. (The brochure I got at Halls says they are known locally as ?§slave fences??, but somehow I doubt there are many, if any, remaining portions of these walls that are antebellum.) <Wall 01-03>. We were getting pretty tired by the time we reached Paris Pike (US 27-68) and headed back to Maysville. The highway has recently been expanded to four lanes, requiring the rebuilding of some of the old walls. A few segments have been left alone, but now sit in the middle of the median?? The widening was quite necessary considering the volume of traffic this road carries, but at least it was done with care to disturb the beauty and history as little as possible. It was so well done it even won an award. (http://roads.cahaltech.com/page.php3?? page=countryscene/parispike/parispike ) Kevin took one more picture for me before we got back. Just north of Paris on US 68 is the Bourbon Drive In. Not really a spectacular place either in structure or signage, but it is still in operation! <drivein> There?¦s still a lot more to check out around Maysville, but that will have to wait for another road trip.

Guest Butko, Brian A. Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Great idea Ken, and good luck. If you ever head east, I've started a list of mom & pops on the LH in PA: http://www.brianbutko.com/lh.lodging.html A highlight would be the cabins at Lincoln Motor Court west of Bedford, though there are only a dozen off them - pic here: http://www.brianbutko.com/LH/LHmedia/LH-LMC.jpg On a trip last summer, we went a few blocks south of the LH in Omaha, NE, to stay at the Satellite Motel. It's a round building with pie-shaped rooms! Built in 1966, right out of the Jetsons. It's on L St/US 275 @ S 60th, also very close to I-80. Rooms start at about $35. As for the entire US route, my Greetings book coming out in 2005 will have maps for each state. For now, I 've posted some strip maps which show the late-1920s route (note the highlighted Humboldt routing through Nevada is the Victory Hwy, not the LH): http://www.brianbutko.com/lh.gr.tx.html BB From: "Ken" <thelandrunner@yahoo.com> Reply-To: LincolnHighway@yahoogroups.com Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2004 17:08:16 -0000 To: LincolnHighway@yahoogroups.com Subject: [LincolnHighway] Favour Needed - LH Lodging Recommendations Greetings All!

Guest WALTER HACKNEY Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm back again with the third (and final) section of Colfax Ave (Denver's "main street" and Highway 40) lodging in 1962. The farther west (higher address number) motels catered to tourists basing their mountain day trips out of Denver. A surprising number of these facilities still exist, with many at the west end in decent condition, still serving the budget minded tourist.

Guest Russell S. Rein Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hey Maureen, I collect Dixie Highway, and have postcards from Homewood, Chicago Heights, Crete, Steger, Momence, etc. I also have a newspaper article with a map announcing the route of this Dixie Highway "dog-leg" south out of Chicago. Also have many Midwestern Automobile Green Books 1916 thru 1924 that have the Dixie Highway driving directions for Illinois, plus some ads. I also have some early stuff on the US Highway numbering system. The problem is that I am in Oklahoma City this week for work and won't be back in Ypsilanti, MI till next Sunday or Monday, and it would take some time to find this stuff. So realistically I wouldn't have anything available till 2/15 or so. What's the rush? ypsi-slim On Tue, 03 Feb 2004 03:59:31 +0000 rt66roadologist@comcast.net writes: > CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP HERE.Jeff > ---------------------- Forwarded Message: --------------------- > From: "Maureen Geoghegan" <maureengeoghegan@hotmail.com> > To: , pathfinder66@earthlink.net > Subject: Chicago Area Documentary > Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2004 12:14:55 -0600 > > Hi Jeff & Jim, > Thought you might be able to help out... > A friend of mine is doing a documentary on the south suburbs of > Chicago for > WTTW/Channel 11 here.

Guest drivewdave@aol.com Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Pat, maybe you can give me an idea of what is or is not on topic. Roads permeate our culture and like the trucking industry says everything you have was brought by a truck. So in a sense just about everything could conceivably be a roads topic. Obviously this is a bit absurd but I do not have a clear idea of what would be on topic. For me it's mostly roads, roads and more roads. As I see it, you pulled me over and issued a warning ticket (SPEED LIMITS) for being negative about a group member and I will not do this again. To extend the SPEED LIMITS analogy would cruise control be a lobotomy or Prozac perhaps? Nah, cruise control is just plain old politeness and the golden rule so just ask yourself what would Miss Manners or Fred Rogers do... Anyways if you can define on and off topic for me I would appreciate it. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rlb0267 Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Seems like a rather simplistic article without any real punch, but judge for yourself: Mustang ride on the boulevard of dreams by nicholas rufford of the sunday times "Get your kicks on Route 66," wrote Bobby Troup, a young American songwriter in 1946. His melody became a hit for Nat King Cole and helped immortalise a 2,448-mile length of highway stretching across eight states from Chicago to the Pacific. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,588-1017799,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few errors (I suspect mainly because he's a Brit not familiar with our country), but he gets at least one thing about Route 66 -- it's a fantastic way to see the country. I just wished he'd talked to more people. That's where the Mother Road really starts to seduce people. Ron Warnick Belleville, IL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drivewdave@aol.com Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 the times 66 article was more interesting than a lot of what shows up here (I know we are not supposed to be negative but that's the way I feel about it) it is good to good an outsiders point of view, it is good to be reminded that we are living in the wealthiest nation on earth, we don't always hear that from our own media. speaking of how others see us, the sunday paper here in Seattle had an article about the local political cartoonist David Horsey and three others of his trade from other parts of the nation who went to France to judge a contest of art by teenagers. The theme was the U.S. so we got a chance to see US through the eyes of French adults filtered through their kids. It was not a pretty sight as you can well imagine, we are seen as fat and bullying. The image that really got to me was so simple and direct it was breathtaking, an 18 year old boy took an actual baseball bat and a hardball and painted them, the bat had the blue field with white stars down at the knob end and the barrel was white with red stripes that faded out towards the top. the hardball was painted mostly blue with brown and green and white, it was our planet as seen from space. let's pull this thing out of the ditch and get it back on topic sort of, so what ever happened to the Pan-American Highway, I suppose they are still waiting to complete the Darien Gap. Seems to me the idea of leaving your driveway and setting out for Tierra del Fuego could be pretty darn romantic, it's nice to think that you could anyways. It's hard to imagine what it would be like to experience this country if you came from a place like England that is relatively small and carries the evidence of eons of habitation. Robert Pirsig in his book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainance observed that the farther west you go, the more the towns spread out as more and more space is available, back east the towns are denser,in the little towns out west the building lots are larger, land was cheaper. another passing thought, in this election year most of the political conversation is about hot topics that polarize people, it would be nice to hear about something that affects us all directly, namely roads and automobiles. the road system needs to be maintained and improved and cars need to be made more efficient and cleaner. as far as I know, the candidates are not talking about this or if they do it does not get onto the teevee which amounts to the same thing. they probably have positions on this, naturally they would have to be for better roads and cars. what to do, spend money for roads and promise lower taxes, sounds good to me... (three dots <...> indicates mild irony) It would be nice to hear some campaign promises regarding historic preservation for highways, we call always dream can't we. at least the times 66 article was a real road report, I might even write one myself one day. keep those road reports coming, it was nice to hear the various reports of vintage pavement a few weeks back, the one I was writing of has a significant traffic load due to new growth, I got the feeling that the ones that others responded with were roads that are not used as much. how about sending in a report of the oldest pavement with the most traffic, this could be fun to know. happy trails, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rudyard Welborn Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I would say that it would either make it a bit harder, or not make a difference...it will reemphasize Route 66's significance and will promote the landscape across which Route 66 traverses, hopefully on a greater scale than it has been promoted thus far. Those who travel 66 in Missouri will find a feast for the eyes in the spring, with the Red Bud and Dogwood blooming and in the fall, with the Oak, Maple and Sweetgum trees blazing in red, orange, yellow, and purple, and promoting this aspect of traveling the mother road I only see as a plus! Not to mention what can be found in the other 7 states! For those interested in seeing this side of Route 66, join us for the 15th Annual Route 66 Association of Missouri Motor Tour, September 10-12...visit our website, www.Missouri66.org for details...the trees may not be changing color yet, but it is still one interesting and beautiful ride! Tsingtao, Kip ----- Original Message ----- From: BringBackRoute66.com To: ushwys@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 4:38 PM Subject: [ushwys] NEW U.S. 66 QUESTION Here's a U.S. Route 66 question for us to speculate on. Old Route 66 is rapidly on its way to being developed into a National Historic/Scenic Byway in several states. (It already is in New Mexico). There are some that are hoping that one day the entire length (or at least most of it) will be so designated. Here's the question: If that indeed comes to pass will Byway status 1) Make it easier to re-establish an official AASHTO U.S. Route designation? 2) Make it even more difficult to re-establish a U.S. Route designation? 3) Not make any difference one way or the other?

Guest timsteil Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Howdy Friends: Just wanted to take a sec to pass on a little news that might be of interest. First off, after a pile of maddening delays, my latest book, "Highway 61 Revisited" was officially released yesterday. While it is available in all the normal online shops, it will probably take another week or two before distribution channels get it out to bookstores. If I say so myself, it aint half bad. Features a photo by listy Kip Welbourn, and well as great shots by my partner in crime Jim Luning, and quite a few blurry shots of a thumb my myself. Also, after two years with a crappy piece of cheese, I have a new website up. It's miles beyond what was there before, and features all sorts of neat stuff...including an interactive weblog, where you can leave your thoughts, insults, and proposals for ongoing criminal conspiracy. www.timsteil.com should pulll it up, but depending how your browser cache is set...you might get the old site. If so...use www.timsteil.com/default.cfm...and you'll be there. So...there it is. Stop by the new joint and have a look, leave a message if you care to. And please pass the link/info along to anyone who you think might care. Thanks for your time. See you on the asphalt friends. best Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
