Roads and Highways

The old highway signs for California routes 91 and 395.


Road history has always intrigued me. As I traveled along a road, it always seemed to have a life of its own. A Los Angeles highway clogged with traffic jams reminds me of the maddening rush of people, always trying to get somewhere, always dependent on roads. A desolate two-lane road meandering among rolling hills patched against a clear blue sky makes me think of the quiet isolation that nature brings, which I can see from my window.

Adding to my interests are many historic highways traveled by people with hopes, dreams, failures, and thoughts. Some of these include: Route 66 (from Chicago to Santa Monica), Route 50 ("The Lincoln Highway" and "The Loneliest Road"), Route 40 (the first interstate highway in America) and highways not as well-known, such as the Old Plank Road in the California Desert.
