100 Years on the Lincoln Highway

In 1919, my grandfather took his fiancee and her mother from Casper to Yellowstone in his Model T. The highway markers were rocks along the way that were painted yellow to mark the route to the National



Park. In Cody he had to stop at the blacksmith shop where he and the smith made new rod bearings for the engine. After a number of vehicle failures during the trip, my grandmother and great grandmother took the train back to Casper.



My grandfather got home a week later.

Before the Interstate Highway System, before famed Route 66, before highways were even numbered, there was one road that started it all, one road that changed America forever: The Lincoln Highway. “100 Years on the Lincoln Highway” is the story of the first coast to coast automobile road in the United States and its impact on Wyoming.

66 Abandoned Places On Route 66! I traveled across Route 66 (twice) in Oct and Nov of 2023 filming ghost towns and abandoned places. This video contains my favorite 66 spots. I skipped entering major cities like LA, St Louis and Chicago due to traffic and safety concerns as most good abandoned places are in areas you don't want to send tourists in those cities. Arizona was my favorite state for abandoned locations and New Mexico was a close second.
