I was so thrilled when I was able to locate this DVD so easily. I purchased this product as a gift and found myself becoming so intrigued with the Licoln Highway that I am now playing my route from Time Square NYC to places unknown. This program gave me just enough to get me going and still leaves many question to go and explore. Come join us On the Lincoln Highway...........

I was curious about this DVD since I had read about part of it this highway which is also part of of Route 30 in west of Kane County Illinois, and saw it on another on PBS show where a man drives on it while telling the history of the area. It said in the article which I was reforign to that it was the firs section to be paved over there. I had been a in Frankfurt Illinois which boy scouts also helped put up signs on that section too. It is nice to see other parts it and the buildings and landscape, and places. It is also nice to see the groups and even a man who was one of the boy scouts in which one of the group memmbers looked up that are remembering it qne going on some of the older sections. I would not mind going with them to see that like I did I went on a walking and bicycling path that used to have rail road tracks. I would feel the sense of aventure like they did. It is intersting that part of it was a walking path for Native Americans and a wagon path and the other historical sections of it. It was nice to see those sites on DVD though. I had never heard sung about it before unlike Route 66 until now which is probably was more widely known
I read that roads were first paved for bicycles on a web site about them. At least this time no reference was made about the Army coming up with idea of paving roads which was not the first time a road was paved which I read on that web site for bicycle riders. Some parts of 66 were made in I also like how Rick Sebak narrates this and I never knew there was a book written about it unlike Route 66 when highways started to have numbers. Someone should have one about 14 and 12 and some state and county routes Maybe there were, but I just do not know about it. It has been fun watching this and it is nice there is a speacial feature. I do like that this in wide screen and I wonder if there is a version tha is not. At least I have a wide screen laptop where I can watch it on though.

I was mainly interested in this DVD because I love to travel historic roads on my motorcycle journeys. I've been on parts of the Lincoln Highway previously but now I have a little more incentive to see the rest of it.

This Lincoln highway dvd had so many places to see and roads to travel.We loved the motor courts and actually purchased a motor court from the 1940's and plan to restore them and allow people to enjoy them as we would.We collect antique cars and we are not living near the lincoln highway, but would love to travel this route someday.
Thankyou for sharing this with the world, PBS, you never stop amazing us with the greatest shows and documentaries that television has to offer.
