Lincoln Highway and Route 66: Truckee Trail and Wrink's

A bit of news from two of my favorite old highways.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY-

The new Truckee Trail in California, follows the Truckee River from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake, will join the Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway, a 116 mile long path. It will include part of the old Lincoln Highway alignment.

ROUTE 66

I'm very happy to find out that Terry Wrinkle, son of the late Glenn Wrinkle, is planning on reopening the historic Wrink's Market in Lebanon, Missouri. It has been closed since Glenn Wrink's death March 16, 2005. Two women were going to reopen it, but their plans fell through.

Wrink's was built by G.E. Wrinkle, Terry's grandfather in 1946. It was originally to be a hotel, but G.E. became ill and the second story was never finished. G.E. and his wife had previously operated the Jefferson Hotel and Cafe on North Jefferson in Lebanon.

Liz and I were fortunate enough to get to meet and talk with Glenn Wrinkle twice. He operated Wrink's for over 50 years and had lots of great Route 66 stories.

Good News on Both Roads. --RoadDog
