We passed more than a dozen old cars with Idaho and Montana plates. - One of the drivers said they were all in an old car club - and were headed for some event for owners of old cars. - They weren't specifically driving their old cars on the - Lincoln Highway because it is an old highway. - Later in the trip we will meet others with old cars who were.
Eureka! (That's the name of this town.)
In Eureka we began a game of seeing who could spot the most Lincoln Highway monuments. - Bill thought of this game because in Eureka he had first spotted most of them! The Eureka County Courthouse. Note the date on it. Much of Nevada had - its development during the mining booms in the late 1800s, and towns, - although small, are by western standards very old. This is the town's Christmas Tree. We kid you not. It was labeled as such. - Well, there really aren't many pine trees around those parts, you know. We stop for the night in Ely, Nevada.
