used to be the only road over the pass - I drove this highway over
Donner Summit to go to the 60 Olympics at Squaw, along with tens of
thousands of others. Parking was on the Squaw meadow, protected from
damage by the Army spraying water on layers of straw every night until a
frozen layer was constructed above the meadow.

This is a piece of the Lincoln Highway - the first trans-continental
highway. Parts of it (like photo) are still in daily use.
