Geocache Description:

The Lincoln Highay originated in the East in the early 1900's. In July 1919 the Transcontinental Motor Train (Army) left Washington DC, in September 1919 the convoy passed here on this exact road! Saying, "it was the best road they been on." Read "American Road" by Pete Davies. This section, going up the hill would become Highway-40.

You are going to do some math to find the finish;
At the above LON/LAT you'll find a marker, to get the FINAL Latitude coordinates you need to find what year this place was built by John Green... then ADD "110" to that number to complete 37 4X.XXXN

Across the Street at 37 42.069N x 121 56.295W you'll find another marker, to get the FINAL Longatude coordinates you must find the year it was saved... then ADD "4660" to that number to complete 121 5X.XXXW NOTE: There was a mistake in a number, this has since been corrected. Sorry folks!

This road was/is the Lincoln Highway before the freeway was built. Even the Gaurdrail is from that era.
