I also remember when the interstate system was not yet completed.
-There was a 20 mile stretch I think in TN where I-65 was not done where you rerouted onto 31W and drove past all the fireworks stores.
--65 as we know it now ended just north of Birmingham and was a 4-lane road with side streets and stores.
-When we went out west to CO on the bike in 2008, we followed the transcontinental railway, essentially Rt 30, towns still looked like the 30'-50's
-after watching 1883, I wonder when, in 300 years if they find all the graves of all who died on all the wagon trails, what they will think was the cause.
