    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

      Have you figured out EXACTLY where he stopped? I'm trying to Google Map it right now.
      I think this might be close: goo.gl/maps/SJuYbTqnJ27st32J6

    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.

      Who cares. Nobody was talking about the "italian Dolomites."...keep it! Enjoy, Kurt in Santa Rosa, ca.
