West Tour of LHA 2011 conference in pictures

June 22, 2011 by Cece

Hello all:

It’s been a long but exhilarating day (14+ hours). I will write more about the day post conference, but in the meantime here are some photo highlights of today (I had over 200 pictures to choose from).

This is the view from the old Echo Pass Summit.
The LH was based off of many trails, including the Pony Express.
Old Tollbooth from the circa the gold rush days.
Clarksville is a ghost town where original LH roads still exist. Thanks to a local Model A association, we were able to go back in time and drive these roads in cars from the period. My car was from 1927.
Traffic Jam-1914 style. The original roads were 14 feet across in most places, so you had to

pass carefully.

A closeup of the original 1914 pavement. It is believed that Folsom Prisoners built these roads in Northern CA.
Abandoned house in ghost town of Clarksville, CA. A Bee Keeper still lives in the entire town and acts as a watchman to keep trespassers out. A developer has bought the whole town, and the hope is to rebuild it when the economy improves.
The boat we were on was the “Tahoe Queen”, an old Paddlewheel boat.
We took a cruise on Lake Tahoe to Emerald Bay. This view is looking from the bay back to the lake at sunset. What a way to start the first day of summer!

Tomorrow we go East into Nevada; there are more photos to come, so stay tuned!

    Looks like great fun touring in a Model A on the Lincoln Hwy. Wish I was there.
