Route 66 was known as the Mother Road. Due to its historical importance and status as the first cross-country highway, the Lincoln Highway is becoming known to some as the Father Road.
Also, it should be pointed out that a mere 10 days ago, the United States Highway System (US-66, 30, and 38 mentioned above) turned 82.
I've traveled the length of 66. I've touched upon quite a few pieces of Lincoln Highway as well. Anyone interested in travel, in my opinion, should consider a long, slow journey down either famed highway. Both are wonderful examples of America today AND from a time long ago.
