Sherry plots a route for a day trip that will take us on portions of the old Lincoln Highway. This privately funded road was the first transcontinental highway for automobiles. “Highway” might be a stretch for the description of this track. I imagine it was more easily traversed than the Oregon trail though.
Our journey begins with an eastbound parade past lumbering trucks using lower and lower gears to crawl up a steep I-80 grade on our way to visit the Lincoln statue. After admiring and finally understanding why a highly elevated bust of Abraham Lincoln dominates the interstate out here in the middle of Wyoming, we venture out on dirt roads into the vast prairie.
The website Sherry uses to guide us along this historic highway suggests that we imagine our new fangled automobile overheating and a tire flattening in submission to the rough road.
