What a wonderful post. I’m traveling The Lincoln Highway right now in a Model A Ford. And I passed through Grand Junction and stopped at the very same gas station!

I happened to catch a special recently on the Lincoln Highway and thought to myself – that would be a great family trip. We’ve traveled parts of the highway through PA, but never a significant portion…I think this gets slated as a must do for next summer.

The special was called A Ride Along The Lincoln Highway. I found a teaser for it on YouTube.

You can buy it on DVD or rent it from NetFlix too. It was a very informative program.

I enjoy traveling the back roads whenever possible. I have five more posts planned about things I found (and stopped and photographed) along my trip home.

Although I love traveling with my kids, it certainly is easier to make fourteen photo stops when going solo.

I love this! Small towns are rather charming in themselves, I think, but to find something so historic is super cool! I love that you stopped and took photos. I love traveling off the beaten path when we can. That’s when you find all the good stuff! It was sooo nice to finally meet you this weekend! Can’t wait to see you again!

That is so cool! I discovered Route 66 this summer (I know it was there already, but it was new to me!) And, I was so excited to think about traveling across the country, actually seeing human ingenuity instead of anonymous highway. But, that lasted only so long before I was ready to go back to 75mph.

What a wonderful observation!
There is joy in noticing the details.
Don’t move through life so fast that you stop noticing!

Great photo! Great eye for detail.

Enjoyed sharing with you at i_blog conference.
