Lord Willing, I’m gonna drive U.S. 40 across N. California. It won’t be in a Model A ( Dad sold the one he drove to High school back in 88) so will have to drive it in my Chevy PU. Every time I get out my Atlas, my wife rolls her eyes and asks where I’m going this time. time for a new one, the old one is wore out……. LOL ! Thanks for a quick trip and the history lesson
great video. lets just hope people will learn and appreciate the beauty of the countryside. and that there is more to life than iPhone,iPad, iwhatever...
didn't they install the freeway for the 1960 Winter Olympics at Lake Tahoe? I thought I read or heard long time ago if there was no freeway, there would be no Olympics.
I always thought that the Sierras were incredibly beautiful. Then I went to the Italian Dolomites. The Sierras seem like a boring set of hills in comparison.
Thank you for a well put together video of “ the old road” it’s next on my bucket list.
