The South Fork of the American River ran alongside the road.

Granite is seen throughout the Sierra of California. We crest the Sierra on U.S. 50.  The Lincoln Highway will follow - route 50 through most of Nevada. Expect the vegetation - along the highway to be nothing like this, though! We come around a bend and Lake Tahoe lies in the distance below us.
The main drag in the City of South Lake Tahoe is always within a few blocks of the lake. We spend our first night in this Quality Inn, right on the Lincoln Highway. Still in California, but yearning to be in Nevada, - we take a walk eastbound on the Lincoln Highway - for 3/4 of a mile towards the casinos we see.
Bill finds himself in a state of Nevada. - He is by the pole that supports the traffic light, by the pine tree. - Poor Larry, who took this photo, has been left in California. Nevada awaits Larry, just a few yards in front of his toes.
