Prelude 2 - October 10, 2020
Prelude 1 - February 16, 2020
This first prelude is just my public commitment to the trip. Over the next several months I hope to hang several bits of auxiliary information onto this page. Some will be essentially the same as background information for the 2001 retrace, but some things have changed in nineteen years. One change has been my level of understanding of old roads. That 2001 trip was just the fifth documented on this site. Calling the knowledge of early auto routes I had then 'meager' could be considered bragging. The basic source of information on the original trip will again come from my great grandmother's letters and I intend to reinterpret those letters rather than sticking with the 2001 path. Whether or not that produces a noticeably different route remains to be seen. |
