Page "Lincoln Highway" Paragraph 74

According to the Association's 1916 Official Road Guide a trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific on the Lincoln Highway was " something of a sporting proposition " and might take 20 to 30 days.

To make it in 30 days the motorist would need to average an hour for 6 hours per day, and driving was only done during daylight hours.

The trip was thought to cost no more than $ 5 a day per person, including food, gas, oil, and even " five or six meals in hotels.

" Car repairs would, of course, increase the cost.
