Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of an Automobile Trip From Lincoln, Nebraska to Los Angeles, California, Via San Francisco: Made by Paul H. Marlay and Party This road is plainly marked throughout the danger sign being a red ring around a telephone pole or fence post and the turns and general routing marked by a white ring or rings around the telephone pole or fence post along the whole route. This is the plainest and best marking we found until we reached the markings of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The garages of Eastern Colorado, Wyoming and Utah have a very good plan of furnishing tourists with speedometer guides and routings from one city to another. For instance, at Cheyenne we secured a perfect speedometer guide and routing to Laramie. At Laramie the garage furnished us a guide of the same kind to Rawlins, and so on, making it very easy to follow the road between the two points. We had a most delightful run through the rich, fertile fields of Eastern Nebraska, arriving at Hastings, one hundred and four miles distant, at 11:40 a. m., and after dinner proceeded on our Western journey, arriving that evening at Cambridge, two hundred and twenty-five miles distant. All of this part of Nebraska is highly improved. The farmers are rich, thrifty and prosperous, occupying fine homes, generally up-to-date and modern, with immense barns and outbuildings; large herds of cattle and swine, and fine beautiful horses; their fields waving with corn, or were golden with the stubble of wheat and oats, or green with fragrant alfalfa. A richer, grander or better farming country is not to be found on earth - Nebraska producing $450,000,000 in crops each year. An early start the next day and on to Sterling, Colorado, one hundred and ninety-seven miles, through a less densely populated country, but with good roads. Sterling is a young, picturesque Western city of about 8000 population, and appeared to be very prosperous.
