Well said, Steve.
I hated to give up on the Lincoln Highway (a 1920s project
partly funded by automobile manufacturers to promote driving
by creating a cross-country scenic route), However, the
creators of the Lincoln Highway web site just didn't want to
part with their data. I think they fund their historic preservation
efforts by licensing data, so their relunctance is understandable.
Anyone know of other public sources for Lincoln Highway data?
