6. There is a nice website about the Old Spanish Trail, www.drivetheost.com.   "Launched in 1915 in Mobile, Alabama as a connector route between New Orleans and Florida, the Old Spanish Trail (OST) soon expanded to a transcontinental trail, linking St. Augustine, Florida, to San Diego, California."


7.  Consider joining a discussion group dedicated to Historic US Route 20. This historic road begins in Boston, Mass., and ends in Newport, Oregon.  US Route 20 is over 3200 miles long and travels through twelve states.The group wants to promote this great road, so that travelers can once again experience the charm and wonder of roadside America, a phenomenon that is vanishing in our fast-paced society. Route 66 may be "The Mother Road", but US Route 20 is the "Grand Daddy Road."  The Yellowstone Trail shares routing with a fair amount of US 20 in the East and in a real way US 20 replaced the Trail in the East when named roads were replaced by government highway numbering.
